So far the site is just a quick one-page overview - we haven't had a chance to flesh out any of the detail yet at all; sorry about that :) To answer the questions:
* 1:1 VoIP is supported on WebRTC on the web version, Android, and iOS coming very shortly. On Web you hit the call buttons on the bottom right; on Android it's currently hidden behind the top-left menu.
* Multiway VoIP is very beta, but supported on the web version. Hit the call buttons when in a room.
* Screensharing is even more beta, but happens to be there as an undocumented easter egg on Web. Currently it only works if you're running on Chrome with the --enable-usermedia-screen-capturing commandline option, and shift-click on the video call button. Obviously this isn't intended remotely for serious use yet, but we're working on it.
* The three platforms supported are Web/iOS/Android. You can of course run the Web client fine on Windows/OSX/Linux. If you want a different native client, go experiment with the other options on http://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now.html http://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now.html
* The page you failed to find for the Synapse server is probably the read me at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse. Agreed we need to make this clearer, and provide much better simple overviews and tutorials for getting up and running.
* Agreed that Slack have amazing documentation - it's something we desperately need to do better at. I'd like to think our "customer support" isn't too bad, though; good luck in getting one of Slack's co-founders answering your feedback on HN ;D
- pjtr 10y agoThank you for the in depth reply. Glad to hear these things are on the roadmap. I'm really looking forward to when they are ready for serious use. (Although I'm a bit skeptical about WebRTC. Browsers have hyped it for over five years now and is still barely beta quality.)
