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

Has anyone tried the new app?

[–] vikingtons@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I've been using the nightly releases for element X android for some time.

Sliding sync means messages are fetched quite a bit quicker, though it's not yet feature complete relative to regular element android.

I've not yet tested element call on EXA, however, but it's worked very nicely for me via web.

I'm trying it now, seems okay so far. I tried it a few months ago and it was unusable, so it's improved.
