Does matrix support video calls? Our family uses Google Meet for group calls. Been thinking of a self-hosted alternative.
I use Synapse as the Matrix server and Element as client on desktop and mobile. It does support video calls, but so far I only tested it for a minute.
It's pretty solid for 1:1 calls, and they are currently working on Matrix's own conferencing protocol/solution.
But until then you could set up a Jitsi Meet instance along with Matrix to run multiple user calls.
I once tried. Too difficult for my technical knowledge. Or maybe the server was not powerful enough. Just 1 GB of RAM.
Plus, Jitsi Meet will allow you publicly available video conferencing which is really nice to have on its own. ;-)
I don't think it does, but take a look at Jitsi Meet! It's very good
You can get the best of both worlds actually. Matrix supports doing video calls through Jitsi Meet!
I want to say that for 1-to-1 calls it does video natively, and for group video calls it uses Jitsi Meet.
Oh, very cool!
