Element

Matrix web client for chatting, joining rooms and using open, federated and interoperable messaging.

Element provides a web interface for Matrix, an open, decentralized and federated communication protocol. The service lets you exchange direct messages, join rooms, organize discussion spaces and use a messaging environment less dependent on centralized platforms.

It is mostly an access interface: the account and identity side depends on the Matrix homeserver you use. It is useful if you want to access Matrix from a browser without installing a dedicated client.

• Use Matrix from a web browser.
• Join rooms and spaces in a federated messaging ecosystem.
• Exchange direct messages without depending on a closed platform.
• Access an existing Matrix account from a self-hosted web client.

• Direct messages, rooms and spaces.
• Federation with compatible Matrix homeservers.
• End-to-end encryption depending on rooms and account setup.
• Browser-based access without installing a desktop client.

• Each Matrix account is linked to a server called the homeserver.
• You can join rooms hosted on other servers thanks to Matrix federation.
• The web client gives access to your conversations, history and spaces from the browser.
• End-to-end encryption depends on the specific rooms and conversations and should not be considered automatic in all cases.

• Join a Matrix room from a browser.
• Access an existing Matrix account on another device.
• Use a federated alternative to closed chat platforms.
• Coordinate discussions in rooms and spaces.
