Not sure if this would help but I found this blog post a couple of days ago
https://www.airsend.io/blog/index.php/2020/03/20/2020s-best-alternatives-to-discord/
They apparently have a list of possible alternatives to Discord. But for audio and video channels, I heard Jostle was pretty cool.
Gotcha. I appreciate the feedback. I am not trying to promote anything at all when I say this, I just want to provide you a possible solution. Our platform works with email: https://www.airsend.io/accountants
Again, not trying to promote anything. I just want to say that AirSend may help solve this particular problem. You can do all the work you need with AirSend, and your clients can still respond and work with you via their email. We are still doing some major developments, but if you are looking for a better tool that works with clients who prefer to use email this may work for you.
some use cases listed here: https://www.airsend.io/family-and-friends. I use it to share/organize important documents: medical and home documents. Also the channel is private and invite only. so you can create close knit family groups (brother and sis, husband and wife). In other messaging apps signal-to-noise is quite low and they don't have file or task management.
Disclaimer - I work at FileCloud.
We use our own product FileCloud( https://www.getfilecloud.com/) sharing, collaboration and Sync. You can self host it on your server or you can opt to use one of our cloud services.
Up until now we were using Skype and Trello for commit and for keeping track of tasks and to do lists. But recently we also came up with a new product hoping to combine communication with in the team and also track our tasks - called AirSend ( https://www.airsend.io/ )
Since we are a remote team , our communication channels are very important and also to track tasks of the team is imperative. So far things are going smoothly and we haven't used Skype for over a month.
You can try both these products for free and see if it works for you and ofcourse any and all feedback is appreciated 😁
