What people say. Recommended as a helpful guide for setting up a self-hosted Matrix server with video conferencing.

Actually setting up a server is not difficult. Check out link to this video for setting one up with video conferencing. Finding a server is not difficult - in the worst case you take the default server. And given the server is not locked down, you have access to all other servers (and their users) as well. So I don't really get where you are going with this.

…en you last tried, and suspect you left with a bad taste after joining popular rooms that (due to how many users they have) lag much more than you'd typically experience. Perhaps I'm wrong and you did everything right just last week and still don't like it, but I'd encourage more people to see for themselves :) 0 link 1 link 2 link 3 link to this video…

Was your experience with Matrix bad because of the server setup or the Element client app? If server, I found this video to be super helpful: link to this video

On “Jackal 0.54.1 – Go XMPP Server”

Matrix servers are now fairly simple to deploy. link to this video I do wish the Element team moved a bit quicker at attacking Slack head-on. Element isn't super polished yet nor does it implement all the features built into the server/spec. So there is some catching up to do there. But the project is more than ready to use today at a large org and it includes a ton more features than what you get out of the box with an off the shelf XMPPd. link

You might want to consider Matrix, where admittedly we do have phone-home stats, but you have to explicitly opt in to them during installation if you want to participate. ( link to this video in the video in the original post here)

@Arathorn, proud operator of Synapse (for 2+ years) chiming in! Another superb conference talk and thank you for all you do. We're running an ancient build. Is your Synapse installation walk-through 1 still the latest/greatest guidance in getting started, for those looking to refresh their environment? 1 link to this video
