## What it is
Nextcloud Talk (spreed) is a self-hosted video, audio, and text chat conferencing app for Nextcloud. It supports private, group, public, and password-protected calls, screen sharing, federated chats across Nextcloud servers, and Matterbridge integration for syncing other chat platforms.

## Use cases
- self-host a private video conferencing server for my team
- replace Zoom or Slack with a GDPR-compliant open-source alternative
- chat and share files with colleagues inside my Nextcloud instance
- host password-protected or public webinar-style calls
- bridge my Nextcloud chat with Mattermost, IRC, or other chat platforms
- run screen-sharing meetings on my own infrastructure
- set up federated chat between two Nextcloud servers

## When to choose
- you already run Nextcloud and want integrated chat and calls
- data sovereignty, GDPR compliance, or air-gapped deployment is required
- you want a self-hosted alternative to Zoom, Slack, or Teams
- you need federation or Matterbridge syncing with other chat systems

## When to avoid
- you have no Nextcloud instance and don't want to self-host
- you need massive-scale webinars with managed infrastructure
- you require TURN-server-free connectivity for users behind strict symmetric NATs without admin capability
