Description

Fast and short communication via individual and team chats has become an integral part of everyday university and work life. A chat service can be a useful addition to emails and the telephone, especially due to the wide range of possible applications. Teamchat (Matrix) makes it possible to send text messages, emojis, stickers and files such as images and videos. Compared to Whatsapp, the Matrix platform used offers more security through encryption and allows you to use various clients, including web-based ones.
