The Complete Platform<br>Screen Share. Video Chat. Voice Channels.<br>Text, voice, video, screen sharing, and bot support — the core stuff your community actually needs.<br>📺<br>Screen Sharing<br>Share your screen in full HD inside any voice channel. Runs on LiveKit's WebRTC stack — same tech used by production video apps.
🎥<br>Group Video<br>Video calls with noise suppression and automatic speaker focus. Grid layout handles 2 to 25+ people without falling apart.
🎙️<br>Voice Channels<br>Drop-in, drop-out voice rooms. Low-latency audio with echo cancellation and per-user volume controls.
💬<br>Text Channels<br>Threads, reactions, @mentions, embeds, file uploads, and Markdown. Channels and categories keep conversations organized.
🤖<br>Bot Compatibility<br>Loqa's API mirrors Discord's, so most discord.py and discord.js bots work with a one-line import change. Slash commands, buttons, modals, and cogs are all supported.
🎭<br>Emoji & Stickers<br>Import emoji and sticker packs from Telegram, Discord, or standard formats. Full Lottie animation support — animated emoji play back at 60fps.
🌐<br>Built-In Translation<br>Translate messages inline without leaving the app. Self-hosted TranslateGemma detects the source language and handles the rest.
🎧<br>Voice Transcription<br>Voice notes get transcribed to text automatically via Faster-Whisper. You can read, search, and translate them just like regular messages.
Migrating from Another Platform<br>Switch to Loqa. Keep Everything.<br>Bring your bots, emoji packs, and server structure over from Discord without starting from scratch.<br>🤖 Discord Bot Migration — One Line<br>Loqa's API mirrors discord.py and discord.js surface-for-surface. Change one import line and your bot connects to Loqa instead of Discord. Most bots work without any other changes.

🎭 Emoji Pack Migration — One Step<br>Import emoji and sticker packs in one step. Loqa renders Lottie animations natively, so animated emoji look the same as they did on the original platform.
📦<br>Pack-Level Import<br>Upload an entire pack at once. Loqa detects the format, keeps the names, and organizes them into a browsable collection.
Full Lottie Animations<br>Animated emoji run at 60fps via the Lottie engine. Small file sizes and resolution-independent rendering.
🔄<br>Cross-Platform Compatibility<br>Import from Telegram, Discord-style packs, or any standard format. Static PNG, APNG, GIF, WebP, and Lottie TGS all supported.
🚀 Full Server Migration — One Click<br>Copy your Discord server structure to Loqa: channels, categories, roles, permissions, emoji, and bans. Uses a Discord bot token for the import — we don't store it.
Complete Structure<br>Text, voice, forum, and stage channels with categories. Roles with full permission bitmasks and permission overwrites are all preserved.
Assets Included<br>Custom emoji, server icon, and ban lists are downloaded from Discord's CDN and re-uploaded automatically. Animated GIFs stay animated.
Ready-to-Share<br>After import, you get a shareable invite link and a draft announcement to post in your Discord server.
