Element's trust mechanism is designed to mitigate this.Įlement uses cross-signed device verification to help ensure the identity of conversation participants and their devices, with minimal effort. Unfortunately, in the real world, passwords can be guessed or sniffed and phones can be stolen. Usually, that somebody is going to be Alice. If somebody is sending messages as Alice, we know that they have access to Alice's account - either they've logged in with Alice's username and password, or they're using a logged in session, perhaps on Alice's phone.

Your noisy events will still be differentiated by a red badge.Įlement uses trust to represent an additional layer of security within the app, over and above username and password authentication. – All messages (noisy): every message will make a noise on top of the visual notification. your name being mentioned) will still be noisy (red badge and sound). – All messages: you will get a (silent) notification for every message happening in the room your ‘noisy’ events (e.g. – Mentions only: you will only be notified for the items that are meant to be ‘noisy’, i.e. – Mute: you won’t be notified, even if your name or a keyword is mentioned. This is very handy when you wish to temporarily mute a room, or make sure you’re not missing anything from a given discussion. Then for finer tuning, you can easily configure per room notification setting from the context menu you get by clicking on the icon that appears when hovering over the room name in the room list. – “Noisy”: you will get a visual highlight (red badge and/or text highlight), a sound and/or vibration (depending on the device) when the selected event happens. – Turned on: you will get a message popping up when the selected event happens, but no sound.
– Turned off: you won’t be notified when the selected event happens. You can configure keywords, default notification settings for group, one-to-one chat rooms, invites and calls. You can configure how you will be notified for given events by default in the Notifications section of your Settings (accessible from the drop down menu under your name in the top left corner of the web/desktop app). Element allows you to customise your notifications at two levels: across the app and per room.
