I want to setup a matrix instance to help increase friends and family’s privacy. Is there much value in creating my own instance?
I’m a beginner to linux and coding, but am good at following the steps on a video tutorial.
Alternatively i could get everyone to sign up on a preexisting instance + download the element app.
Thanks for sharing your opinions !
I tried snikket but couldn’t get video calls to work unfortunately… Do you know of a good guide that explains how to do set up video calls?
It should work out of the box, but video calls are especially difficult to establish on some mobile phone networks using CG-NAT. Make sure you have the right ports open for STUN/TURN on your server, otherwise maybe ask on the Snikket support chat room?
Thanks. Do you know how to test if a phone network uses CG-NAT?
Basically all do, but some are worse then others. Check if it works when using the same wi-fi connection first.
Yes. Prosody/conversations video voice works on my wifi & also on wifi to mobile1. But does not work for ‘mobile1’ to ‘mobile2’ data.
