I just did this to test out the process for a client who has to replace skype in their workplace, and it wasn’t bad.
I looked up servers on the web, picked the privacy DIY server, installed Element app, registered in the app using a “token” from the server website, confirmed via email - web link, and done, about 15 minutes plus figuring out the token part (had to reread instructions).
Nice. There are some servers with only the premium maps but if they are cheap it’s worth it, including Firestorm, which they are bringing back for BF6. Peak Battlefield.
