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.

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

Yeah, so…just use a different instance 😃

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

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

I use https://meet.vpsfree.cz
Jitsi meet is the hosted service of the open source project provided by the developers. The proprietary variant is 8x8.com
Oof, that stinks!
Let’s Goooooo
Doesn’t element already support calls?
That isn’t built on Matrix afaik, it’s specific to the Element client.
Yes, also confused by this.
If I remember correctly it needs a (CO) TURN server, so maybe this is about an embedded solution?
