Encrypted Matrix video calls you can self-host
Open sourceOpen sourceFree planElement Call is an open source voice and video conferencing application built on MatrixRTC. It supports encrypted group calls, screen sharing and a standalone web experience as well as calls embedded in Matrix clients.
The complete calling stack can be deployed with a Matrix homeserver, LiveKit and Coturn, including in isolated environments. It is listed as a self-hosted option because the operator chooses the infrastructure and jurisdiction.
The community software is free and open source. Hosting and operating the required infrastructure are separate costs.
Data and operations
Verified operational dependencies, shown separately from ownership and from the service's core data hosting.
Public website
Why this matters
Public DNS routes website visits through Cloudflare. Visitor IP addresses and request metadata can reach this non-European provider; this does not identify the core service's data location.
Incoming business email
Why this matters
Published MX records route incoming business email through Google Workspace. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.
