Element call is the flagship Element MatrixRTC application. It is replacing the current call system with significant new features. Most notably large encrypted group calls, much improved reliability, ease of use and of course still features the same interoperability.
This talk will give all the details about the current features and plans of element call. We will talk about how guest access works and how you can use it, discuss implementation on Web, Android and iOS. There are lots of changes in how element call looks and feels and behaves we want to share!
If you are interested in a great call experience over matrix which feels like normal phone calls (with batteries included: ringing, muting, native call history to name a few) and also get a good understanding about advanced features like guest access, how call federation works and how to setup your own home server to support all this you are warmly invited listen.
