Over the past few weeks, I’ve been diving into ElementCall and ElementX – two exciting projects in the Matrix ecosystem that push decentralized communication even further.
🔹 ElementCall enables secure, peer-to-peer video calls using the Matrix protocol – built on top of LiveKit.
🔹 ElementX is a next-generation Matrix client – fast, lightweight, and built with modern architecture.
📚 New Tutorial Available!
I’ve written a step-by-step tutorial on how to integrate ElementCall (with LiveKit and JWT authentication) as an addon to an existing Matrix Synapse installation running in Docker.
💡 This makes it easy to upgrade your Matrix setup with full-featured video calling – fully self-hosted and privacy-respecting.
