# Chatservice Matrix
There are various ways to use the chat service on the edutrans platform:

## Use via Element or Schildi Desktopapp
* the registration process works as described here for the Element desktop app and the Element mobile app
* download element here [here](https://element.io/download)
* <span style="color:red;">**Attention:**</span> please **do not** install **Element X**, as this app is not yet supported by the server (**install Classic Element**)
* If you can't download Element, use [Schildi](https://schildi.chat/) or [FluffyChat](https://fluffychat.im/) app
* after you have installed the app, you must first specify a different home server. This is `synapse.edutrans21.org`
* as soon as you have confirmed this, you will be taken back to the login page
* select access via login.edutrans21.org there
* a browser window opens with the edutrans login page
* enter your access data here and confirm
* switch back to Element and you are logged in
* have fun chatting with us

## Use via browser
* open the URL [matrix.edutrans21.org](https://matrix.edutrans21.org)
* log in with your access data
* a chat client appears in the browser window
* you can use this via the browser
* <span style="color:red;">we recommend the use of a **desktop** or **mobile app**</span>
* Why? As soon as the tab or browser is closed, you will not receive any messages and are therefore no longer up to date 😉
* We also recommend the 'Set up Secure Backup' option
* You should keep the security key you create in a safe place
* this is used to backup your data or to restore encrypted messages
