Element Call: Secure video conferencing for Matrix (element.io)

submitted 8 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

16 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Element Call is an open source end-to-end encrypted video and voice conferencing solution built on the Matrix protocol for secure communication.

We’re developing Element Call to provide the best possible security properties with compulsory end-to-end encryption, supporting sender verification, forward secrecy, post-compromise secrecy, zero-trust decentralisation and cross-domain capability. It achieves this by building on the foundations of Matrix as a mature, audited [1], open standard protocol for secure communication.

I dont know, I really havent followed closely in a while. I just remember last time I tried Matrix they were using Jitsi

I remember using Jitsi Meet before and it was fine. But when I tried it again a few months ago, it started demanding an account for hosts. I think the options for account providers were Google, Github and LinkedIn but don't remember exactly

There are instances that work without an account still. It's the main benefit of the whole thing.

I thought Jitsi Meet is like a separate partially proprietary app that uses Jitsi open-source technologies. Does it support self-hosting? Jitsi itself is extremely complicated to set up

Jitsi meet is the hosted service of the open source project provided by the developers. The proprietary variant is 8x8.com
