My family uses Matrix. The default Element interface works in the browser, on desktop, and on mobile app. It was chosen as it's pretty much the only solution that is open-source, supports all devices, has E2EE, supports text/voice/video, and can be selfhosted.
- Semaphor 4y agoClunkier story, but XMPP checks all those boxes as well, but there are better clients (sadly also crappier clients which is part of the issue) and it's far older.

Point users to the app, issue accounts, provide the server address, and they're good to go. The interface and experience is just like a commercial chat app so there's little resistance.
