Right. This is why you CAN do video, audio, messaging, 3d object data, etc using the same backend servers. It does require some complexity on the dev side too because of that
Comment on Would a fediverse alternative of Discord be possible?
poVoq@slrpnk.net 1 week agoalthough XMPP doesn’t necessarily natively have video call, usually you’ll have an accompanying TURN server
The same is true for Matrix and the popular Ejabberd xmpp server has a Stun/Turn server built in, which makes it even easier to setup than what you have on Matrix.
P.S.: Matrix also isn’t a messaging protocol. It is a distributed database protocol that has been abused for making a messenger with it.
