Well it is a matrix synapse server that runs the element web app, and I will make sure everyone also uses the element device apps as well, mainly for consistency.
So you have been using Matrix! Element is just a matrix front-end.
Most of our team is nontechnical so Element.app seems like a good skype replacement from an interface point of view. We also tried Zulip, rocket.chat, and Discord. Zulip was the second choice. I just have to ensure they don’t wander off into federated servers by accident, or invite anyone else.
I switched my team to Element, it’s really good for us, and almost identical to Skype minus the bullshit so the transition has been easy.
I haven’t used matrix. How does it compare to Skype’s core functionality?
