Virola Messenger

Virola Messenger is a self‑hosted instant messaging and collaboration platform that supports private and group chat rooms, file sharing, and continuous voice and video meetings. Users can join meetings without invitations, record sessions, and adjust video streams to save bandwidth. The system also includes screen‑sharing and remote‑control features for collaborative work across locations.

In addition to communication tools, Virola provides an integrated issue‑tracking system with a task board. Messages can be converted into issues, assigned priorities and owners, and enriched with unlimited file attachments, while filters and board views help monitor progress. Role‑based permissions allow administrators to define access controls for rooms, channels, and administrative functions.

The software is offered as a free, self‑hostable solution with no subscription requirement, targeting small teams or organizations that need on‑premises messaging, collaboration, and task management without relying on external services.
