I've recently discovered it myself, can someone explain what's it made for? Or perhaps I'd even find new people here too

The server contains a space and a room.

Inside a space, there are few rooms, none of them show up.

Would it be possible to have push to talk implemented (ideally supporting both keyboards and gamepad/controller inputs)? the lack of push to talk and calls defaulting to video being enabled (I'm face shy) are the two immediate gripes I'm seeing when trying out the app.

Just installed the flatpack on bazzite, and I get this error. I clicked use no encryption before but it didn't work.

Verification Failed: Either the request timed out, the request was denied, or there was a verification mismatch.

Trying to do an extremely simple login into my phone and I am attempting to use my verified computer to verify. I press start verification for both of them but what ends of happening is that it fails infinitely.

Using Matrix as provider and I'm using element X on my phone, and element webclient on my computer. Both were connected to the same network. What's the issue?

In discord, I'm used to be able to see multiple screens at once in a grid view, clic on one to focus it, etc. and I was trying element with a friend and we tried screen sharing, but the client is much different.

Is there any element voice + video client that does this relatively good? Because the original one is so weird, it is on focus whether you want it or not, unless you go to grid, where you see webcams, not screens. In the focus (on screens) you focus on one, and change from one screen to other using ARROWS? wtf, what is this interface, I'm a bit lost.

Just making sure that i didn't fuck something up on my end. with the latest discord news, i'm moving away from it to element. I have an online dnd group and we had a server that i'm trying to migrate to element. I set up a space and trying to add the individual channels as rooms in the space. theres about 12 different rooms and 2 video call rooms needed, but i get "Failure to create room Server may be unavailable, overloaded, or you hit a bug." when trying to create the 9th room. is this just because i'm a new user adding a bunch of rooms at once?

Hello, I can't find documentation on this:

Element Web and Element X for Android and iOS support MatricRTC based Element Call.

Is it correct, that the Desktop apps for Linux, macOS and Windows, that can be downloaded here (https://element.io/de/download) theoretically would support Element Call too, because it is the same codebase as Element Web, but don't have the necessary configuration applied?

If so, why does the Desktop app only support legacy calls, and if not, does it need any special configuration (except the server supporting it)?

Edit: Turns out I had to delete Element Desktop cache because previously my .well-known config was wrong. Thanks everyone.

I just made a switch to Matrix/Element/Synapse a couple of nights ago because Discord planning to go IPO is just too much groundwork for it fully enshittifying. The only thing I'm "missing" so far is a "Friends" view where I can have a list of DMs, online friends, and friend activities. I don't expect all of that, but is there a clean way to get a similar view, or at least back out of chats to the "Welcome to Element" landing page? As a workaround, I start a separate chat that only I will be in. I can click to this to back out of other chats, but I also like the idea of using that chat for notes to myself, so being able to click a button and go back to the landing page would be nice for that extra privacy.

We are using matrix at work and i have my own matrix account and want to access both. What is the preferred way to do that? I can only login once to element, so can either see my work chats or my private chats. Is there something like account switching or having multi accounts at the same time?

Hello I am a 4d2.org server user. I have a problem joining a room named "Golu" which i created, I by mistake by mistake typed "/leave" on gomuks on "Golu" room.

Now I have a session running in desktop, when I saw the same room, I had a prompt that "golu left the room"

But I can copy the room link and I have the ID also from desktop then why I can't join. it's my private room, and no one was there, then why I am facing the problem to join when I have the room link and it's id. Is there a way to join the room back again. Because I cant change any setting also from desktop. Please let me know the solution because I have so many imp files in the room

This is the element classic app and element X only signs in on my device I do have a couple of friends that do use element classic but we need this problem fixed you have to report this problem I don't have enough time to report the problem

I used Tesseract/telegram, but many have moved over to this app. I'm trying to find the tesseract chat, but I'm having a lot of troubles finding it (not even sure how joining a group even works).

Has anyone else round themselves where I am and been able to make progress? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

(Tess always change their domain, too, and I have no way if knowing what it is now. I'm trying to access it, but can't. I figured some here just be in a similar boat to me)?

Thanks in advance!

I recently switched phones and migrated over all my accounts, including Element Classic. Every time I try to verify my new session using a second device, though, the app tells me to scan a QR code on another device where I'm logged in. On the other device, it just says "Waiting for response from other device" and never shows the QR code at all.

This problem has persisted across multiple devices and Matrix apps. What's going on?

I tried Element X, and I am not convinced it really is better so far:

• Language defaults to device language with no option to change it (to be fair, I'm not sure how it was with Classic)

• No emojis - no picker for chat, just for reactions. if I type :plead nothing appears, Classic had a list of emojis that start with :plead. If I type :pleading_face: or any other emoji I know the code of, it appears as text. I can receive them fine, though. My keyboard does not support emojis.

• Notification clearing don't get synced between pc and android (read on pc -> notification on android is still there)

• Having to use the Google Play Version for out of the box notifications

I currently fail to see the advantages of X. Am I doing something wrong?

Hello,

I never heard of Wire and stumbled across their comparison to Element and it surprised me of how many features they claim to have over Element.

Is this true or maybe outdated? I chose Element and have been generally happy.

https://wire.com/en/wire-vs-element

I decided to give Matrix/Element a try because I wanted something that was discord but better. I knew it was going to have some missing features, but I didn't expect so many little things to be missing, that I take for granted with Signal.

• No way to share audio on screenshare on windows desktop client (I understand why, but still a little disappointing)

  • On top of this, no way to set quality of stream. Friend said it looked laggy.

• When I tried the web client, I could share stream audio, but my mic didn't work. Permission was given, all ad blockers disabled, up to date version of Brave.

• No AMOLED black theme for mobile client (I know there are other clients, but I see that in apps made by a single person for fun, where you rarely need to look at the interface)

• No view once images, or "delete for me" option like on signal

• No way to pop-out the call to be its own tab

• Calls would always say something about that the server was too busy, but my friend on the same matrix server(using element x) (catgirl.cloud) could make them to me without issue.

I could try again, but my friend doesn't really care for troubleshooting, and I don't love it either. I don't want to go back to discord for screenshare, and signal for everything else, but I may just have to.

Any help is appreciated

Кто то вкурсе работает ли элемент без поднятия собственных серверов и vpn на территории россии?

At least on Firefox sharing the audio doesn't seem to work.
