##### How do you do VoIP calls on Matrix?
Voice (and video) over Matrix uses the WebRTC 1.0 standard to transfer call media (i.e. the actual voice and video traffic). Matrix is used to signal the establishment and termination of the call by sending call events, like any other event. Currently calls are only supported in rooms with exactly two participants - however, one of those participants may be a conferencing bridge. We're looking at better ways to do group calling.

##### Why isn't end-to-end encryption enabled by default?
We are deliberately keeping E2E opt-in during the beta as there is a small risk of undecryptable messages, and we dont want to lull folks into a false sense of security. As soon as we are out of beta, we will turn E2E on for any room with private history by default. Another consideration is to give other clients a chance to catch up with E2E support before it's used by default.
