# Element Call
Element Call enables users to have audio and videocalls with groups, while
maintaining full E2E encryption.
It requires several bits of software and entries in .well-known/matrix/client
This bit is for later, but here's a nice bit of documentation to start:
https://sspaeth.de/2024/11/sfu/
# Install prerequisites
Define an entry in DNS for Livekit and Call, e.g. `livekit.matrixdev.example.com`
and `call.matrixdev.example.com`. Get certificates for them.
Expand `.well-known/matrix/client` to contain the pointer to the SFU:
```
"org.matrix.msc4143.rtc_foci": [
{
"type": "livekit",
"livekit_service_url": "https://livekit.matrixdev.example.com"
}
]
```
Create `.well-known/element/element.json`, which is opened by Element-web and
ElementX to find the Element Call widget. It should contain something like
this:
```
{
"call": {
"widget_url": "https://call.matrixdev.example.com"
}
}
```
Make sure it is served as `application/json`, just like the other .well-known
files.
# Livekit
Livekit is a small Go program that handles authorization tokens. You'll need a
Go compiler, so install that:
```
apt install golang
```
