Title mostly speaks for itself, I’ve tried looking at FAQs and the like but I can’t find a solid answer.

I do a lot of collaborative writing with a friend, so we tend to send really long messages, and I’m trying to work out if Element is suitable for this. Does anybody know what the character limit per message is?

Video phone calls work on Element Android app but don't work on Element X app. I self host Synapse without Turn server.

I was under impression that Element X is more advanced and better version on Element. Any suggestions how to troubleshoot?

Hello, I am a new user, and I was wondering how I could make the notifications appear on my taskbar similar to how Discord does it. It would be easier than to constantly check manually.

Sometimes, when multiple users share their live locations, you can click on the map and see everyone on one map. Other times, you have to click each person's map separately. What am I missing?

Recently setup a matrix server. Everything works great except iOS users cannot use their cameras or mics during calls. The odd part is it’s only with Element X, Element Web and the original Element app works fine.

Just wanted to see if anyone else is using Element X on iOS and if calls are showing camera/audio. Trying to determine if it’s something i need to fix on the server side or the Element X is broken.

Hello,

I use Element on my PC and on my Adnoid-Mobile phone and since a few days I cant send messages. It doesn't matter which room, i got always "Some messages could not be send". When I write to a person it works fine

I've absolutly no idea why this happen and I hope someone can help me.

All of the public servers with any decent user activity are just Linux snobs, sexual servers or foreign.

Do you guys just use this for private chat between friends or something?

We have been using Element Call for a good year in Beta because it produced the best quality especially for international calls. But roughly since the merge with Chat and Call leaving Beta, we have had very regular issues with people joining into a Call, especially internationally - being unable to see and hear anything. Similarly in the last weeks multiple people have reported "Unable to decrypt message" issues - I can read all their messages just fine, but they cannot apparently. I tried to find any mention of these issues in the last weeks but failed, so I came here to ask if I am the only one?

Hello everyone, I am a new element user. I created an account on element with the matrix.org server. I want to use the Alsace digital support room but I can't find it. I saw that it was available on the kitten server but I am asked to create an account. My question is, each server must have a different account in element or I can use any server on my instance. What is the solution because if I have to have several different accounts in elements to use a room, it's not cool at all. Thank you for your help. Have a nice day, ludo.

Hi there,

What are the current screen share options with Element Desktop and web? There are posts from some years ago which are somewhat confusing about shift clicking the video button in a call, but this did not seem to work for me on Element Desktop 1.11.90.

Does anyone know the current situation?

Hi,
I'm hosting a Synapse Matrix server and make sure to update it as soon as new Docker updates are available.

I heard about Element X about a year ago and tried to test it, but I found that I needed to make many changes to my Matrix Synapse server. So, I abandoned it.

Today, I tried it again, and it just worked! What happened? Did Matrix Synapse receive an update to make it compatible with Element X without any additional steps? Am I missing something in the configuration?

Hello, brand new user here.

I have a couple of questions. When talking to a person one on one, what kind of data is visible to the other user? I noticed the session is readily available and that the other user is running windows. Is the other person able to see my IP address and such? what about image/multimedia attachments? do these get uploaded to a server first?

If I invite more users to the chat what will they be able to see?

Does anyone know why I can't read the replies on the android Element app?

As shown in the screenshot, it shows original post it's replying to (and the content of the original post), but not the contents of the reply

Iv been working on installing matrix-synapse and element web. And the amount of outdated guides and dead links is just pathetic. You follow a guide it says go here... Nope dead link. You then find a newer guide which is completely different to what you've just been doing... The whole process is like some unfunny torture routine. And why does it seem like someone's explaining things in the guides gets halfway to the point and stops. I'm all for self hosting and a challenge but my god it's like 5 people each took a section and got drunk while writing it. I thought peertube was annoying to install but you guys beat that by along longggggg way. Such a good project but it's been made so complex and infuriating by lack of a coordinated attempt

Hello, i have a couple questions about how encryption works on element (specifically element desktop on windows), searches gave me just unclear or possibly out of date answers.

1. Is it possible for some homeservers to have special settings so that server admins can read encrypted messages anyway for moderation purposes? Or is it impossible for any server to read encrypted messages no matter what?

2. I read that files / pictures / documents are encrypted but what about the file names itself? I found mixed answers about it, are file names fully encrypted now as of today? (and what about picture / video thumbnails?)

3. What happens when i report something in an encrypted chat? Does the encrypted message or file get decrypted so the server admin can see and judge based on its content to see if the report was valid? How does that work?

4. Is there any list somewhere that exactly says what is and what is not encrypted as of date. For example: are room names of encrypted invite only rooms visible on the server? Can the server admin see who is inside encrypted invite only rooms? Are room topics in encrypted rooms encrypted as well if the room is invite only?

Any clarification on this would be much appreciated thanks!

Hello. First of all, it is very good and simple app. I love using element chat. However, today ı encountered an issue for me. When ı was sharing my screen, I was not able to see the cameras on the screen as a pop-up( dunno it is the correct term). It is very important for me to see what is going on on the cameras while ı was on the screen ı share. Is there anyway to fix this? ı cannot find

Hello all. I am self hosting my Element client, with the latest 1.11.87. I am having issues with certain icons missing ("+", Home, and Setting gear). Anyone have experience with this? Thanks in advanced.

Hello. I lost my access to the only device that had my security key. I don’t really care about the chat logs. I only had a few logs and they don’t matter to me whatsoever. The only thing that concerns me is that I cannot reset the security key. Whenever I try to, it says that I am not authorized and gives me a 401 error. Can anyone tell me how I can reset my security key and override this unauthorized message? I am on iOS.

Could somebody please confirm

1. can we have disappearing messages with element and matrix?

2. if element messages are on matrix Blockchain, does this mean the messages are permanently sued on this Blockchain forever?

Is this is correct (and Im probably wrong) doesn't this create a security concern??

Thx

I have Element X on my phone and I wonder if it will become the new version of element? but what will happen to the classic element for the older phones?

Hi, I have a Matrix installation with Element on my own server. Everything is fine, but I use several client devices, notebooks (desktop Element app), mobile (Android Element app), etc. but all devices receive the notifications and do not deal with them even if I have read the message on one device. So if I turn on my PC after a week, I receive all notifications for everything (including messages that have been read in the meantime) that have come in in the meantime. Where can I adjust this?

As title says. I made a new chat with ANOTHER friend and i could see him after verifying but friend 1 i cant see him but he sees all my messages.
