Riot for Windows

Universal secure chat app

Riot.im allows you to access multiple groupware accounts from one instant messaging client. Even though you may be using different applications, all of your text, files, or other information that Riot stores are encrypted at the end-of-everything. You must own your own server. This allows you to use Riot's crypto-ratchet technology to create a secure, decentralized Wi-Fi connection. You can access Riot's code as an open-source client through GitHub. It can be used to customize your server, or to make contributions to the code. Riot allows you to add and increase the size of your chat rooms.

Riot allows users the freedom to choose their servers as it uses a federated Matrix protocol. It is also available under the Apache License 2.0. Riot allows users to modify their code to personalize their experience. However, developers encourage this. New Vector Limited, the developers of Riot, creates the majority the code for the application's Matrix protocol and the majority the code.

You can create add-ons or other tools on Riot using the Matrix React SDK. This React-based software developer kit allows both developers and users to quickly identify and fix bugs in code. It also uses Electron, a software framework. This allows you to create desktop applications from within the web application. The new application can be used with Windows and macOS.

You and your team can communicate with one another by sharing files, videos, and messages. This allows you to work together. Through the read receipts, you can see who has received your messages. You can also communicate via conference calls or one to one video chats. This feature is dependent on the groupware that you are using.

Riot is great for people who work with groups in multiple groupware programs. Instead of switching accounts, you can respond to your team members efficiently in one platform. You will need to be proficient in coding to use this program. The server and chat rooms can be adapted to your needs. Riot can be used on any Windows device with Windows 7 or higher, as long as it provides a single platform for meeting with your team.
