Nextcloud Talk lets you chat and have video calls on your own server.

Chats and calls take place in conversations. You can create any number of conversations. There are two kinds of conversations:
Chats and calls take place in conversations. You can create any number of conversations. There are several kinds of conversations:

1. **One-on-one conversations.** This is where you have a private chat or call with another Talk user. You can't add other people to this conversation or share it with a link. You start a direct one-on-one chat by looking for another user in the search bar and then clicking their name.
If a user becomes unavailable for long period and set an out-of-office status, you will find additional information in this conversation, such as provided description, absence date, or their replacement person.


2. **Group conversations.** Besides the person who created the conversation, a group conversation can have any number of people in it. A group conversation can be shared publicly with a link, so external guest users can join a call. It can also be listed, so other people on your Nextcloud server can join the conversation.


3. **Note to self.** This is a special conversation with yourself. You can use it to write message notes, create to-do lists or forward content to save.
