In their own words
Taverns
Taverns is a hosted community platform for gaming and hobby groups, with text and voice halls, forums, events, roles, and moderation tools. People can join through a browser without installing anything, and the service also supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows. The Free plan costs nothing and includes an account, Tavern creation, community membership, chat, voice, and community tools; optional extras use Prisma. There is no free trial. Members can upload files up to 2 GB for free, while each Tavern supports 700 custom emoji and 1,000 stickers without a subscription or boosts. Stage halls synchronize video playback for watch parties using YouTube, TikTok, X posts, Vimeo, Twitch clips, and video files. The homepage describes screen sharing at 1080p and 60 fps. Voice, video, and screen-sharing calls are end-to-end encrypted, except when a voice hall streams to or from a third party that does not support that encryption. Taverns is operated by MEKASMITH Co., Ltd., with a listed address in Tokyo, Japan.
