I'm looking for an alternative option to video chat and stream Jackbox games with my family.

Currently when we play, I set up a video chat on meet that family members join via laptops and then I connect a separate computer that shares its screen and audio from the running game.

Features I'm interested in:

Cheap/No cost
Easily to access (web based ideally)
Shares computer screen and audio
Unlimited/long meeting time (sometimes we play for up to 3 hours)

Does something like this exist?

Edit: We had a successful game last weekend using Jitsi Meet. Everyone was able to connect and we played for 3 1/2 hours. Jackbox audio and video went through nicely.

Bananas Screen Sharing may one day be able to fulfill the screen sharing part, though currently it does not share application audio.

Signal can group screen share with audio (I think), though it was a little buggy when I tried it a couple years ago.
