#Calls

Matrix supports two types of calls:

• Element Call powered by MatrixRTC and LiveKit
• Legacy calls, sometimes using Jitsi

Both types of calls are supported by different sets of clients, but most clients are moving towards MatrixRTC / Element Call.

For either one to work correctly, you have to do some additional setup.

• For legacy calls to work, you need to set up a TURN/STUN server. Read the TURN guide for tips on how to set up coturn
• For MatrixRTC / Element Call to work, you have to set up the LiveKit backend (foci). LiveKit also uses TURN/STUN to increase reliability, so you might want to configure your TURN server first. Read the LiveKit guide
