Text, voice, video, and federation. --- Backspace is a self-hosted, open-source Discord alternative: a Discord-style chat platform you run on your own hardware. Spaces, channels, roles, voice and video, screen sharing, direct messages, friends, file sharing, and message search. On top of that, server-to-server federation lets independent Backspace instances talk to each other while each stays under its own control. It is free and open source under the GNU AGPL-3.0 , and dual-licensed: a commercial license is available if the AGPL doesn't fit your use. See License for the details. Project status Backspace 1.0. Stable, self-hostable, and actively developed. What makes Backspace different Self-hosted chat usually forces a trade-off: gaming-grade voice and video, or a polished Discord-style experience, or federation between independent servers. Rarely all three, and rarely with the fine-grained media controls people expect. Backspace does all three at once: - Voice and video with a real control surface. This goes past a screen-share button. Choose resolution, frame rate, codec (VP9 or hardware H.264), and bitrate; set independent 0-200% volume for every person and every screen-share; RNNoise noise suppression; a live connection inspector (bitrate, codec, ping, packet loss, jitter); and a per-tile badge showing each stream's measured resolution and frame-rate. Screen sharing goes up to 4K/120fps within admin-set bounds. - Fed","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/TheZwiss","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/TheZwiss/backspace/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
