I believe mumble/teamspeak have a similar model to Matrix though, in that every room is both a voice channel and a text channel?

Maybe there should be another feature request to auto join voice comms when entering a channel?

The text channels in mumble/teamspeak are pretty much irrelevant because matrix already has good text channels, the IRC part. The text channels there are just to post the odd link or something in mumble/ts.

There's a reason discord is winning, and i'm saying that as a matrix+mumble/ts user. They integrated modern IRC and modern (worse but free)/teamspeak nicely.

Honestly, I don't really want to file feature requests about this because if it's not as good as mumble i'm not going to use it for voice.

And making it as good as mumble is not trivial, because browser tech sucks. WebRTC is entirely inadequate imo. (I have messed around with POCs myself)
