Element is launching the world’s first communications platform based on the upcoming Matrix 2.0 release. The result is blazing performance which outperforms the mainstream alternatives - across a decentralised system that enables self-hosting and end-to-end encryption - as well as open standard interoperability to revolutionise real time communication between large organisations.

Built on Matrix 2.0, Element X now rivals the performance of centralised consumer messaging apps, empowering organisations to address the shadow IT issues caused by consumer-grade messaging apps in the workplace.

The new Element communications solution consists:

Element X, our next-gen app with an array of new features

Element Call fully integrated into Element X, for native Matrix-encrypted voice and video

Element Server Suite, our backend hosting solution for powerful admin control and Matrix 2.0 performance

Screensharing would let so many people move from discord

[-] Chewy7324@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

Discord uses their own screen sharing implementation because it performs better than what's available in Electron by default. I don't expect Element to achieve that, considering their focus isn't gaming.

however this app does not use electron, so it might be less of a work here

Last time I checked they had it in the web version

Only through Jitsi as I remember, it wasn't very good if that's what they're still using.

Wire supports it. Also more secure than Matrix

[-] communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

How is it more secure than matrix? I can't even self-host it.

Yes, you can. The server code is on github. But I don't know why you would, since all messages are encrypted client-side.

Its more secure because you know that all your users can't send a message unencrypted, either accidentally or intentionally.

there's a graphical indicator if they send something unencrypted, and there's no way to turn an encrypted chat into an unencrypted chat on matrix. Plus they start encrypted by default, I honestly don't even know how to make an unencrypted chat, I don't think there's any good way to other than using a client that doesn't have encryption.

this is not a real problem.
