Mumble! You can host your own mumble server, I used to it for privacy over Discord. Getting people to use it is another challenge.

How is this peer-to-peer?
If you host the server it is. Which is really easy. Then you can do stuff to add security like adding an IP whitelist perhaps along with other things.
How's it peer-to-peer when there's a server?
You cam try https://jami.net/
But I also think Mumble is the better solution, but of course not p2p.
~~Jami has push to talk?~~ https://docs.jami.net/en_US/user/all-features-by-client.html
Thank you!
Probably not, but you can likely improvise by binding the audio mute to a button in your OS.
Hard for those on different operating systems to copy.
Jami on desktop, not on phones yet:
Available only for desktop users for now, the new Push-to-talk feature offers a new effortless way to communicate: simply press a button for hands-free, instant, and convenient audio messaging. It’s like in the olden days of gaming when gamers would key bind the Push to talk feature to be able to talk when necessary.
So jami all the way, 🙂
Matrix or jitsi rooms. Uses webrtc, is mostly to peer to peer except for hole punching or proxying when needed
No push to talk

Surprise! Jitsi has PTT
Have you tried it? I don't want to ALT+TAB out of my game, to hold space bar in Jitsi, every time I need to say anything. Jitsi does not have push-to-talk.
You can spin up your own mumble server. It's not that hard, and then once you have that running, you just tell your friends to download the mobile client and boom. You're done
It's easier to connect trought radmin VPN or similar VPN tunnel. It's harder to setup server that works in public internet. And if you gonna use VPN tunnel for this, please, for gods sake don't use hamachi. It's ass.
radmin
Which libre software license text file does this come with?
How will I get their friends running servers? I can't run a server for the whole world.
This does not spread privacy beyond them.
What does that sentence mean?
Spread some privacy on the unfortunate users kind sir.
I can't run a server for the whole world. How many of them and their other friends do you think will copy me by getting their own servers?
Mumble + Mumble server + Radmin VPN (or any other app that can make fake LAN connection. Hamachi is bad btw don't use it)
Radmin fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software. Why would I escape Discord for another scam?? lmao
How does this make it peer-to-peer? Getting my own server does nothing to spread privacy beyond my friends. I can't run a server for the whole world. How many of them and their other friends do you think will copy me by getting their own servers?
