Alternative to

If you are looking for an alternative to Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or Google Meet, this replaces:

  • Microsoft Teams.
  • Google Meet and Google Chat.
  • Zoom for internal company meetings.
  • Personal instant messaging groups used for company business.

What you get

  • Team chat: Direct one-on-one messaging and group channels for departments and projects, with threaded replies, mentions, and emoji reactions.

Arabic and hosting in Egypt

  • Arabic: The Nextcloud Talk web interface and mobile applications support Arabic natively.
  • Hosting: We host it for you in Egypt. Because video conferencing consumes significant bandwidth and CPU resources, we size the server to your concurrent peak participant load and deploy dedicated signaling servers for larger groups (infrastructure design).

Frequently asked questions

Is it an alternative to Microsoft Teams?

Yes: team messaging, video conferencing, screen sharing, and guest access, unified in a single platform alongside email and shared documents.

How many people can meet simultaneously?

As many as the provisioned server capacity supports. We size conferencing resources for your largest regular meetings, adding dedicated signaling servers as your organization scales.

Can an external client attend a meeting without an account?

Yes, via a public guest link without creating an account or downloading an application.

Why shouldn't we keep using WhatsApp for work communications?

WhatsApp accounts are tied to personal employee numbers, and historical conversations are lost when employees leave. Here, conversations remain company property hosted on your private server, with access managed and revoked centrally.

Our limits

  • Very large academic lecture halls require specialized education delivery systems, which we can recommend and configure when needed.
  • The software is from its developer (Nextcloud); our role is hosting, configuration, operation, and support.
