What is Nextcloud Talk?
Nextcloud Talk is an open source, self-hosted video conferencing and communication solution designed specifically for private clouds. It enables secure audio/video calls, chat, and screen sharing capabilities out-of-the-box without relying on any external service providers.
As an on-premises solution, Nextcloud Talk gives users full control and ownership over their data. All audio, video, and chat communications are encrypted using end-to-end encryption protocols to prevent third-party access. This makes it a great solution for security-conscious teams and organizations that handle sensitive information.
