Element X, How to Setup Audio/Video Calls ?
RespectableCitizen
Member
good day, does anyone know how to setup Audio and Video Calls on Matrix Synapse for Element X app ? i only have learned how to make Matrix Synapse with Coturn server,
have found some Text guides about that but can't understand really what need to do exactly, i'm not so professional in server things, mostly use Yunohost for things,
but also was succeeded in Original Matrix-Synapse Setup , if anyone know really how to Install Audio and Video Calls for Element X app on a Matrix Synapse Server please please please make a guide for simple people like me, explain everything in details and very simple, i would be so grateful to you for many weeks or months for sure!
Thanked by 1nghialele

I see in your other post you did mentioned abot YunoHost, I believe they have Synapse (and some other options). Also, YunoHost have Coturn app as far as I can remember, correct me if I'm wrong.
I am also working on my Synapse setup, will DM you with steps that I did later once I get it online. I try to document my work recently.
Yes, Yunohost may set up Matrix Synapse Instance, but it is not working with Element X on iOS, same error appear(calls are not working out the box), I have tried to deploy Element Call by Yunohost, but it didn’t work for me, or maybe I haven’t setup something right.
At least in the moment I still have no idea how to make calls works on “Element X” , original Element app is working with Coturn server, no any trouble with that, but Element X needs different components like SFU, Livekit or something,
if you find a way how to install that after deploying a Matrix-Synapse Server, I would be unreal grateful, on Reddit people struggling cause they can’t figure out how to do that also.
Matrix developers there showing a test way of deploying a server with all stuff included “element-docker-demo” but it did not work for me, some error appear in the yaml config file, even I use to follow instructions as on the video.
(Video instructions for Deploying Element-Docker-demo)
Setup synapse is actually not that difficult, I was using one YouTube guide which is work great, I even used my own self sign CA certificates for it, as well as a OpenSSL or let's encrypt
Here is the guide that is works well:
Nice, thanks for sharing!
Looks like it is an Element X issue.
i wish to find a way how to make this work:
https://github.com/element-hq/element-docker-demo
because it contains everything inside, after deploying all features must work already,
but i got an error in config yaml file which i don't understand how to solve,
in video there was no any issues.
really hope to find someone:
who can explain how to handle the installation of element-docker-demo, without an error (i shall try to install it again soon and show the error of yaml file)
or manually install everything after original setup of matrix-synapse instance.
In the moment i still haven't find a solution by myself how to make audio/video calls work in Element X app on ios.
The best way to install Synapse with all add-ons:
https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy
If it was more simple user friendly, I’m trying to understand it, but it looks too complicated.
Wish someone post more easy guide than official GitHub page provides,
Thank you for the link, have seen it before on reddit,
It is for more advanced users right.
Have to try official Way of Element-Docker-Demo again, but It was a strange error of yaml file, when I will try again, I shall post that problem, and hope someone can help with that.
Found more simple guide of ansible synapse deploying, but I see no information about element call setup on it, so probably it would
Not work with element X app.
in the moment i end up with making instance by yunohost with jitsi and coturn (everything provided automatically) i also tried to find a way out how to change .well-known file but haven't anything how to find that file somewhere, matrix synapse is really difficult thing.
