Chat and video meetings

Chat apps update on their own schedule, and the newest version is not always the lightest or the one your team approved. Some can run on your own server; others only work on the publisher’s service. Here are 14 messaging and meeting apps, with older versions where the source keeps them.

What you’ll find here

This page covers desktop messaging, team chat and video meeting apps for Windows and macOS: community and gaming chat, encrypted messengers, workplace chat and video conferencing. Each app has its own page with the publisher’s download links, SHA-256 checksums, and VirusTotal results where we have them.

The 14 apps listed here are Beeper, Discord, Element, Ferdium, Jitsi Meet, Mattermost, Microsoft Teams, Mumble (client), Signal, Slack, TeamSpeak 3 Client, Telegram Desktop, Zoom Workplace, and Zulip. All 14 run on Windows, and 13 also on macOS. Of these, 8 are open source. Between them the site lists 594 versions. Older versions are mostly available for Windows; for macOS the current release is usually the one listed. Everyversion hosts no installers: every download button goes to the download location named in the publisher’s package data, normally the publisher’s own server. For 13 of the 14 we downloaded the installers ourselves and re-computed their SHA-256; for the others the checksums come from the published package listings and are marked as such.
