Interesting, I don't use Matrix for voice call, maybe I should give it a try
So far only Element Web/Desktop and ElementX have implemented the current gen call system. It also needs to be supported server side so it only works if you are on a homeserver that has set up element-call. (Many have at this point, but far from all)
In Element X its the only available call system, in the desktop version you need to click on the video/camera icon and select "Element Call" to use it.
If you just wanna try it out standalone (the client just embeds this same UI) you can do so here. https://call.element.io/
This systems is super smart and can distribute the load across multiple homeservers when you have large calls with like 100+ participants.
Very interesting, thanks!
If you wanna see if a server supports it just put in your servers URL into this handy matrix server tester.
If the server has something related to "livekit" in the .well-known section then its most likely supported.
