Voice & video
Click a channel. You're talking.
Voice channels are always open, so there's no calling and no waiting. Turn on your camera or go live with your screen, or with a single app window, whenever you want.
- Push to talkAny key or mouse button, with an adjustable release delay. Or let voice activity open your mic.
- Clean audioNoise suppression, echo cancellation and auto gain, plus a mic test that plays your voice back to you.
- 0–200%Volume for every person, separately. Mute anyone just for yourself.
- Go liveShare a whole screen or one app window, with system audio. Pop any video out into picture-in-picture.
- Ping, liveHover any tile to see round-trip time and packet loss for that person.
- CallsRing a friend from your DMs, or start a group call with up to 10 people.
Servers & chat
Build the place. Set the rules.
Make a server in seconds, then shape it: categories you can drag around, private channels, read-only announcements, and roles that decide exactly who can do what.
Roles with real control
Allow or deny per role or per person, on any channel or category. Moderators can only manage people below them, and nobody can hand out powers they don't have.
Find anything
Jump to any server, channel or friend from the keyboard. Search messages with from: has:image before:.
Drop it in
Drag images, clips and files straight into the chat, or paste them. Images open full-size in the built-in viewer.
Say it your way
Markdown, code blocks, spoilers, replies, reactions, forwarding and pins. Edit your last message by pressing ↑.
Keep it chill
Time someone out for ten minutes or a day. Every moderator action lands in the audit log.
Friends first
Add people by username, see who's around and who's in voice, and set a custom status. Group DMs hold up to 10 people, and blocking someone stops their DMs and calls.
Make it yours
Three themes, any accent colour, compact mode and font scaling.
Security
Locked down by default.
Here's exactly how GIZZ protects your account and conversations.
- Voice and video go peer-to-peer, encrypted with DTLS-SRTP between you and the people you're talking to.
- Passwords are hashed with bcrypt. Your sign-in on this PC is encrypted by Windows, and you can sign out other devices from Settings.
- Sessions expire. Changing your password logs out every other device.
- Links open in your browser, never inside the app.
- Uploads are checked. Only images, video and audio display in chat; everything else is download-only.

Questions
Good to know.
Is GIZZ free?
Yes. There are no paid tiers and no ads.
Does it work on Mac, Linux or phones?
Not yet. GIZZ is a Windows 10 and 11 app for now.
How many people fit in a voice channel?
Voice works best with up to about 8 people talking in one channel at a time. Text channels and servers can hold far more.
Why does Windows warn me when I install it?
Windows shows "Windows protected your PC" for new apps that aren't signed with a paid publisher certificate. Click More info, then Run anyway.
I can hear people, but they can't hear me.
Open Settings → Voice & Video, pick the right input device and run the mic test. If you use push to talk, check the shortcut key, which works while the GIZZ window is focused.
Where do my messages live?
Messages, files and your profile are stored on the GIZZ server so they're there on any PC you sign in from. Voice and video don't get stored: they go straight between the people in the call, or through an encrypted relay when a direct connection isn't possible.
