looking family chat/call solution
Looking for a family chat/call solution for windows and android which does not require a phone number and is children friendly.
Currently I use synology chat (since I have a sinology NAS) but it is not very good and does not support voice/video calls.
The only acceptable alternative which I can think of is Matrix. Are there any other options?
weve used discord since google chat shut down, but that doesnt sound like it would be restrictive enough for your situation.

I have a matrix instance in my garage we're using as family chat. My 7 year old gets along well with schildichat.
1 0 ReplyI consider a public matrix server, do yo see any issues with this?
1 0 ReplyDepends on what you mean by "child friendly". On my instance I control discoverability of channels as well as the bridges to other protocols. If that is fine for you I don't see a problem with a public instance - just make sure to set up encryption and save the recovery keys somewhere (at least for older children where they can control access).

There would be a lot of overhead but there's nextcloud chat
1 0 ReplySounds like really a lot of overhead starting from hosting. What are the benefits over public matrix server?
