 === Instant Messaging Services ===
-At this time, we have two distinct messaging services available for you:
+At this moment we only provide instant messaging access through our Matrix Node. The legacy XMPP/Jabber Service was discontinued due to a lack of users.
-==== 1. Matrix ====
+==== Matrix ====
 [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(protocol)|Matrix]] is a decentralised, real-time, open-source communication protocol. We provide the webbased IM client [[https://element.io|Element]] for you, which takes advantage of full client to client encryption and shows comparable usage to services like Whatsapp etc., but without all the privacy horrors attached.
-You can login to the service via [[https://element.matrix.informatik.uni-bonn.de]]. You need a computer science/b-it account to login there (username/password). There are mobile Clients available, i.e. for [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=im.vector.app&hl=de|Android]] or [[https://apps.apple.com/us/app/element-previously-riot-im/id1083446067|Apple IOS]]. Our Matrix Domain is called "matrix.informatik.uni-bonn.de".

Our Matrix Domain is called "matrix.informatik.uni-bonn.de". Here are the generic Login Informations in case you want to use your own clients:
+| Username: | <your username in the C.S.Dept> |
+| Matrix-Domain: | matrix.informatik.uni-bonn.de |
+| Homeserver: | matrix.matrix.informatik.uni-bonn.de |
+\\
 In the Matrix-Network, users are identified by a prefixed "@", rooms by a prefixed "#" and communities by a prefixed "+". This prefix is followed by an identifier (i.e. a username or a roomname), which is divided from the home domain of the referenced resource by a colon:

 | local room: | #roomname:matrix.informatik.uni-bonn.de |
 | local community: | +communityname:matrix.informatik.uni-bonn.de |
+\\
+If you want to use the Voice/Videocall functions, please be advised that these calls are managed through a server called 'jitsi.riot.im', which is an external service with no association to us. If you are concerned about this, please do not use these functions at all and use our [[en:bigbluebutton|BBB-Servers]] instead.
 Please read our [[en:matrixds|data security notice]] about Matrix.
-==== 2. XMPP/Jabber====
-A classic messaging service based on [[https://xmpp.org/|XMPP/Jabber]] is to be found on our server "xmpp.informatik.uni-bonn.de". A rudimentary webplatform is available [[https://xmpp.informatik.uni-bonn.de/|here]], but a native [[https://xmpp.org/software/clients.html|XMPP-Client]] would be a better choice for connecting.
-Please use "<username>@xmpp.informatik.uni-bonn.de" and your central computer science paswort for authorization to our xmpp server. If your client cannot retrieve the connection parameters from DNS, your can issue the following parameters:
-|Server:|xmpp.informatik.uni-bonn.de|
-|Port:|5222|
-|Jabber/XMPP-ID:|<username>@xmpp.informatik.uni-bonn.de|
-|Password:|central computer science password|
