Bridges
Matrix Bridges are basically services that create a connection between the Matrix ecosystem and other messaging platforms such as Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp and many more. They act as translators that synchronize messages and content between these different platforms, allowing Matrix users to communicate with people on other platforms in their familiar environments.
Thank you for your understanding that temporary outages may still occur, especially in the early days.
Advantages of using Matrix Bridges
- Centralized communication: Merge chats from different platforms into a single (Matrix) client.
- Simplicity: No need to switch between different apps and websites.
- Open standards: Benefit from the advantages of an open and standardized protocol.
- Accessibility: Reach people on platforms they prefer without sacrificing Matrix.
Setup and configuration
We have documented the setup of the bridges available from us for each bridge, simply click on the bridge you would like to set up on the left.
Security and data protection
Where there is light, there is also shadow: When using Bridges, data leaves the Matrix ecosystem. This also requires you to have a certain understanding of security and data protection aspects. Please read the information on security and data protection that we have provided on the respective Bridge pages.
Support
We have noted exactly which software we host for you on each bridge. As a hosting provider, we are unfortunately not always able to provide support at application level, so depending on the problem, we may ask you to enter an issue for the respective project. If this requires data that is only available to us, we will of course be happy to help.
