Element Call: Secure video conferencing for Matrix

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.

This is awesome and has been a long-time coming. I wonder how much (if any) of Jitsi Meet is still part of the code? I just know that Matrix was struggling with secured video for a long time, and initially leveraged Jitsi Meet for their video chat with more than two participants.

Doesn’t Jitsi Meet require an account on questionable services to host meetings nowadays?

SnotFlickerman ,

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

SnotFlickerman ,

Oof, that stinks!

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

I use meet.vpsfree.cz

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

No they don’t, only on the first-party website. Jitsi is FOSS, with thousands of deployments.

I think Jitsi and Jitsi Meet are a bit different. Jitsi Meet is an easy to use system based on Jitsi and one of its deployments. I was talking about Jitsi Meet here, not about Jitsi (the protocol) itself

Yeah, so…just use a different instance 😃

Can you recommend some of them?

Uhhhh there’s a list of them somewhere. I have my own. Used framatalk for a while but they shut down entirely for the same reason Jitsi now requires verification. Brave also uses it.

Doesn’t element already support calls?

Yes, also confused by this.

Tenkard ,

If I remember correctly it needs a (CO) TURN server, so maybe this is about an embedded solution?

priapus ,

That isn’t built on Matrix afaik, it’s specific to the Element client.
