Use Nextcloud Talk as your call provider in Zulip

You can configure Nextcloud Talk as the call provider for your organization. Users will be able to start a Nextcloud Talk call and invite others using the add video call (<i class="zulip-icon zulip-icon-video-call"></i>) button in the compose box.

You'll need a Nextcloud server with the Talk app enabled.

Configure Nextcloud Talk as your call provider

By default, Zulip integrates with Jitsi Meet, a fully-encrypted, 100% open source video conferencing solution. You can configure Zulip to use Nextcloud Talk as your call provider instead.

!!! warn ""

**Note:** Zulip creates public Nextcloud Talk conversations with guest
access, allowing anyone to join by visiting a URL and entering their
name. This ensures that all Zulip users can join calls regardless of
whether they have Nextcloud accounts.
