Hi,  
Could someone clarify for me whether Mattermost has “its own” voice, video & screen sharing features, or are these functions purely integrations with other services such as Zoom to handle the calls?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi @steveharman, you can find more info of the available voice, video and screenshare options here: [https://docs.mattermost.com/deployment/video-and-audio-calling.html](https://docs.mattermost.com/deployment/video-and-audio-calling.html)

Thanks. So it does seem that integrating with external 3rd party services is necessary for voice, screen sharing & video calling?

I’m just trying to get my head around the requirements if we moved from Slack - where all those features are handled natively within the product itself.

Hi Steve - that’s correct, though there are several self-hosted options that you can run on-premises in cases when an integration with a cloud provider is not desired.

For many of the other options, the set up should only take a few minutes, and Kopano WebMeetings provides an embedded 1-1 audio/video option into the Mattermost interface.

Am I right that there is no any embedded solution now?

1. Kopano WebMeetings plugin is now discontinued.
2. niklabh/mattermost-plugin-webrtc-video doesn’t work and doesn’t develop

This plugin seems to have voice call and screen sharing. [GitHub - mattermost/mattermost-plugin-calls](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-calls)

Hey there, we just announced public beta in Mattermost for native voice calling and screen sharing. Here’s the blog post: [Introducing Voice Calling and Screen Sharing in Channels - Mattermost](https://mattermost.com/blog/introducing-voice-calling-and-screensharing/)
