End-to-End Encryption (E2EE)

End‑to‑End Encryption (E2EE)

What E2EE does

• Encrypts messages so only room participants can read them.
• Works in supported DMs and private groups; not all features are available when E2EE is enabled.

Enable and use

• Start a DM or private group → room settings → enable E2EE (if allowed by your admin).
• Store your recovery key securely; losing it can make past messages unrecoverable.

Limitations

• Some bots/integrations and server‑side features (e.g., full‑text indexing) may be limited in E2EE rooms.
• Voice/video calls are negotiated separately and may have different encryption properties.
