7 -[[Matrix>>https://matrix.org/]] is a chat system very similar to E-Mail, but instantaneous and secure.
9 +Matrix is a chat system very similar to E-Mail. People have their account on one server but can write messages to anyone on other servers. For example @someprofessor:tum.de can communicate with @someresearcher:lmu.de.

9 -* You need to register an account at a provider (e.g. tum.de, or lmu.de)
10 -* Whatever your provider is, you can talk to people using other providers

12 -For example {{code language="none"}}@someprofessor:tum.de{{/code}} can communicate with {{code language="none"}}@someresearcher:lmu.de{{/code}}!

14 -* (((
15 -In the same way you can use Outlook or Thunderbird with the same email account, you can use different Matrix apps for the same Matrix account!
16 -Several apps exist, but we're going to go with "[[Element>>https://element.io/]]" for the sake of simplicity, as it's among the most fully-featured Matrix apps on the market.
17 -)))
11 +You can create end-to-end encrypted personal or group chats that are not stored and dependent on a central authority like most other tools (ms teams, whatsapp, zoom, ...). All your messages are synced between all your devices - web clients, desktop clients, smartphone apps. For additional security, encryption keys of contacts can be verified and then stored as trusted.

19 -So People have their **account on one server** but can write messages **to anyone on other servers**.

33 -* **matrix.tum.de** for TUM accounts: @username:tum.de
34 -
35 -You only need to use one account and can communicate with any other homeserver of the world.

38 -
39 -* matrix.org: [[https:~~/~~/app.element.io/#/register>>https://app.element.io/#/register]]
40 -* or any other homeserver [[https:~~/~~/joinmatrix.org/servers/>>https://joinmatrix.org/servers/]]
41 -* or, host your own homeserver :)
42 -
43 -To use your home server, you have to **use a client** that communicates with your homeserver.
44 -
45 -== Clients ==

47 -[[Element>>https://element.io/]] is our client of choice. You can use it
