    It’s not a new project, it’s just skinned Element. Jitsi does not have the features of Element.

      Tchap is the Element-based server. Visio is a different thing. Although you can trigger Visio from Tchap (like you can do it with Jitsi from Element).

          At first, I wrote “Element/Matrix” and decided to not be too pedantic… But if you want to be complete: the messaging protocol is, of course, Matrix. You could say there is actually no such thing as a Matrix server either, because it’s a protocol. The server must probably be Synapse-based, I guess. But there is an “Element-based server” in the sense that the web interface of Tchap (and phone apps) are very clearly forked from Element, which is what I meant.

          Visio is based on LiveKit, which Element Call is also based on (as far as I understand). It lives outside of Tchap. The DINUM never mentioned it was based on Element Call. Do you have additional information? (Not that the difference matters much I think)

            You could say there is actually no such thing as a Matrix server either, because it’s a protocol.

            A Matrix server is a server that uses the Matrix protocol. You could be more precise and say Synapse but that excludes community-developed forks like Continuity, Contunuwuity, Tuwunnel, etc. etc. So yes, I maintain that is the “correct” terminology.
