Email us with your username and a description of the problem. Please do not include your password — we will never ask for it.

Getting an account

Accounts are created by invitation only

There is no public sign-up. This is deliberate: it keeps strangers, spam, and automated accounts off the service entirely.

To join, ask an administrator to create an account for you. You will receive a username and a temporary password, which you should change after your first sign-in.

Signing in

  1. Install the app, or open a browser.
  2. When asked for the server, enter matrix-call.com — not the full address of any other server.
  3. Enter your username on its own, for example ahmed. You do not need to type the part after the colon.
  4. Enter your password.

Common questions

I cannot sign in

Check these in order:

If it still fails, email support with your username. Never send your password.

How do I change my password?

Open Settings in the app, then your account or security section, and choose to change your password. If you have forgotten it entirely, contact an administrator — for security, passwords cannot be recovered, only reset.

I am not receiving calls or notifications
A photo or video will not send

Files are limited to 100 MB each. Long or high-resolution videos often exceed this. Record at a lower resolution, trim the clip, or send it in parts.

Also check that the app has permission to use your photo library.

Call quality is poor
I see "Unable to decrypt" on some messages

Messages are end-to-end encrypted, and the keys live on your devices, not on the server. A message cannot be read by a device that was not in the conversation when it was sent.

This usually appears after signing in on a new device. Verify the new device from a device you already use, and set up a recovery key so your history follows you next time.

How do I add someone to a chat?

Search for their username in the app. If that does not find them, use their full address in the form @username:matrix-call.com. They must already have an account — accounts are created by an administrator.

Your privacy

Messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted. They are encrypted on your device before they are sent, and only the people in the conversation can read them. The server stores encrypted data it cannot open.

This also means nobody — including an administrator — can recover the contents of your messages for you.

Full details are in the Privacy Policy.

Reporting a security issue

If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, please email support@matrix-call.com with the details and how to reproduce it. Please report it privately first, rather than publishing it, so it can be fixed.
