Element has been working for me and my friends. At the moment, it just embeds Jitsi within the client to do group calls (which works fine. Jisti isn’t bad by any means), but native group calls are being worked on and are currently in beta!
Calls should come any month now. element-x just works on voice messages. The app is already able to make calls, you may try it b starting a call here and opening the link with the app. Just the ui and the things surrounding it are missing.
I wish they would work on proper voice channels like discord has. The whole ‘meeting room’ zoom call style thing is obnoxious to use, and the screen sharing has so much lag.
There are “Video Rooms”. They’re in beta too.
Also, screen sharing is done via the same platform agnostic web APIs every other Electron-based app uses, though.
I got rid of screen capture induced lag by switching to Wayland.
The screen capture isn’t the issue, encoding the stream is where discord manages to do it with only a second or so of latency. Jitsi and similar seem to have much longer delays.

There is “broadcasting” in element/ schildichat. Is that the same?
There’s no lag on my end, might be server/ connection dependent
