ITET Chat server

The following list of recommendations on how to use this serviceis growing as we collect more experience. Check back frequently!

Best practice

• Check the official help page of riot.im for answers to any questions you might have.

• If you want to create a room of general interest for your institute or group, please ask your technical contact to do this for you with the insitutes/groups chat administrator.
• If it turns out a room you created will be used after you leave ETH, ask your technical contact to join the room with the institutes/groups chat administrator account and promote this account to admin.
• Make sure you know who is in a room before you post sensitive or confidential information.
• Use encryption only if you transfer confidential information and preferrably between a minimal number of participants. The overhead of exchanging keys grows with more participants.
