Element X - Secure Chat & Call

Element X brings you both sovereign & seamless collaboration built on Matrix. The collaboration capabilities include chat & video calls with the modern set of features such as:
• public & private channels
• room moderation & access control
• replies, reactions, polls, read receipts, pinned messages, etc.
• simultaneous chat & calls (picture in picture)
• decentralized & federated communication across organizations

All this comes in a secure & sovereign fashion without compromising responsiveness or overall usability of the app:
• enterprise-grade single sign-on
• easy & secure login & device verification via QR-code
• end to end encryption & zero trust
• protection against MITM & other cyber attacks

If you’re a new user, use the new Element X app from the start. Compared to the current Element app you will get:
• greatly enhanced performance, sleek user interface and overall better user experience
• enterprise-grade support for single sign-on (OIDC)
• QR-code based login & device verification
• natively integrated Element Call for video calls
• continuous improvements, bug fixes and new features

If you’re an existing user, using the current Element app - check out the new Element X and start planning your transition. The current Element app will be phased out and will only get critical security updates.

Own your data
Matrix-based, Element X lets you self-host your data or choose from any free public server (the default is matrix.org, but there are plenty of others to choose from). However you host, you have ownership; it’s your data. You’re not the product. You’re in control.

Interoperate natively
Enjoy the freedom of the Matrix open standard! You have native interoperability with any other Matrix-based app. So just like email, it doesn't matter if your friends, partners or customers are on a different Matrix-based app - you can still connect.

Encrypt your data
Enjoy your right to private conversations - free from data mining, ads and all the rest of it - and stay secure. Only the people in your conversation can read your messages.

Chat across multiple devices
Stay in touch wherever you are with fully synchronized message history across all your devices, even those running Element legacy app, and on the web at https://app.element.io
