[QUOTE="Stadtaffe, post: 1430725, member: 10358"] Element is not the only client for matrix. I am currently testing and experimenting with an exciting terminal based matrix client: [URL unfurl="true"]https://github.com/ahmedsaadxyzz/matrixcli[/URL] It does one thing in particular which element does not do, which is monitor multiple matrix accounts simultaneously. Actually, in the github issues for element, you can read that it is a requested feature but would require a large code refactor. So with element you have to log out then log into something else. With matrixcli you do this in the config.py file: [ICODE]accounts=[ { "server":"https://example.com", "username":"account1", "passeval":account1_password_eval }, { "server":"https://matrix.org", "username":"account2", "passeval":account2_matrixorg_password_eval}, { "server":"https://example.com", "username":"account3", "passeval":account3_password_eval_any_name },][/ICODE] These terminal programs generally do not do video and voice, only text, but they do other useful things.
