Element course on Matrix #7: Calls and video conferencing in Element

Duration: 5min 55sec Type: How-to Playlist: 32 of 128 in First Department

Description

"One-on-one calls and video conferences in Element are made using standard tools and are generally no different from calls in other messengers. But calls to three or more people are implemented through integration with the third-party application Jitsi and are displayed in Element as a widget. Therefore, we will also touch on the topic of widgets and bridges.

Element is a messenger. More precisely, a corporate messenger. Even more precisely, a free corporate messenger that runs on the Matrix protocol. Element is called the benchmark in the implementation of this protocol.

And Matrix itself is in many ways the benchmark for instant messaging protocols, since it is Open Source with an emphasis on security, encryption and privacy, which relies on a federated network structure, and not on a closed proprietary community."
