I'm looking forward to Element Call, which is currently in development. It looks like their design starts with WebRTC running through SFU (selective forwarding units), which is pretty common by itself, but they're adding a tree-like SFU hierarchy in order to handle many participants without requiring expensive MCU (multipoint control unit) servers. https://element.io/blog/introducing-native-matrix-voip-with-element-call/ https://element.io/blog/introducing-native-matrix-voip-with-... https://element.io/blog/element-call-beta-2-encryption-spatial-audio-walkie-talkie-mode-and-more/ https://element.io/blog/element-call-beta-2-encryption-spati... I assume it will become part of the Matrix spec rather than being an Element-only feature, though I don't think I've seen that confirmed. Maybe Arathorn will see this and comment? Contrast with Jitsi, which requires Java, making it too heavy for my low power ARM server, and does end-to-end encryption in a way that's too heavy for some of my contacts' web browsers to run smoothly. In the meantime, I've been relying on my Mumble server when I don't need video. The sound quality and latency are top notch, and the hardware requirements are low.
