About

More than group chat: communication

  • Communicate with your team and out of network colleagues more efficiently: use dedicated rooms which persist information from their creation and forever.
  • Forget group emails: join or create rooms per topic, per team, per event… Decide the level of transparency you want to provide across the organisation or project.
  • Cut through the noise by creating notifications that are customised by you and for you.
  • Grab the attention of your colleague by calling out their name and don’t miss a thing with keyword alerts.
  • Deploy bots for fun or practical use with our integrations store.

Preliminary Wayland support since 1.7.25.

To try running Element natively under Wayland, run:

flatpak run im.riot.Riot --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,WebRTCPipeWireCapturer --ozone-platform=wayland

For GNOME, window decorations are currently missing and you'll have to use keyboard shortcuts instead to resize the window.
