FAQ
Can I use Element?
Yes. Open the hosted CallChat web client or install Element from official app stores or desktop downloads, choose a custom homeserver, and use callchat.org.
Which homeserver should I use?
Use callchat.org. The separate matrix.callchat.org hostname is reserved for a later DNS/proxy step and is not needed for normal login today.
Is normal chat free?
Yes. Standard Matrix-compatible secure messaging remains free.
Is CallChat Shield free on callchat.org?
Yes. CallChat-hosted Shield is included on callchat.org as the free showcase for active hosted accounts. Other servers need a paid ZMath license.
Can I use voice and video calls?
Yes. Calls are available through Element with active CallChat accounts on mobile and desktop.
What are CallChat Q-Calls?
Q-Calls are the secure-call option for CallChat. Live calls use Matrix/Element WebRTC, DTLS-SRTP, identity checks, and TURN relay support. The Q-Call layer adds Shield policy, PQC-ready planning, call setup evidence, and optional server-side IonQ research hooks.
Does IonQ mean live audio is quantum encrypted?
No. IonQ belongs in a future server-side research or attestation hook. CallChat does not put IonQ keys in public JavaScript and does not claim live voice packets are quantum encrypted today.
What is CallChat Shield?
CallChat Shield is the ZMath layer for protected files, attachments, vault notes, and Q Call posture. On callchat.org the hosted Shield experience is included; self-hosted buyers license it.
What is ZMath / Zero Boundary Algebra?
It is the CallChat research layer behind Shield behaviour and premium access design, wrapped around standard cryptographic controls and user-owned secrets.
Do users have to create a Shield password and pattern image manually?
No. In the hosted CallChat flow, the compatible CallChat app or module manages Shield vault material automatically for normal protected-file actions. Advanced export or recovery flows may still need clear user confirmation.
What is a .zme1 file?
A .zme1 file is the CallChat Shield encrypted container for selected files or vault notes.
Can Element decrypt Shield files?
Element can download the .zme1 file, but premium Shield decryption requires compatible CallChat tooling. Normal chat stays usable.
Can I install CallChat as an app?
Yes. CallChat is installable today as a web app from compatible mobile and desktop browsers. The downloads page also includes a Windows portable test app, Android and iOS build kits, desktop source, and SHA-256 checksums.
Is there an Android APK?
Use the installable web app now on Android, or download the Android TWA build kit if you want to build and sign an APK. A direct public APK button is shown only when a signed release file exists.
What is Zero Bot?
Zero Bot is the optional Matrix room agent path for approved rooms. The first live room is #zero-bot-lab:callchat.org, and the bridge is designed to use OpenZero as the local brain with local command-triggered speech.
Can Zero Bot talk out loud?
Yes. The live bot can post command-triggered audio with !zero voice. Public rooms should not auto-speak every message, so voice stays deliberate and rate-limited.
Does Zero Bot run on paid cloud AI?
The preferred route is local OpenZero on the same server or private network. Hosted AI can be added later only with clear admin configuration and consent.
What commands should I try first?
Try !zero help, !zero callchat, !zero openzero, !zero frontdesk, !zero voice, !zero rules, and !zero status.
Is there a CallChat web login?
Yes. The live browser client is available at /element/ and the branded CallChat interface is available at /chat/.
Does the sign-up form create a Matrix account now?
It prepares an invite request. Matrix accounts are issued through controlled access.
How does CallChat reduce spam registrations?
CallChat uses controlled access and can add tokens, email verification, or reCAPTCHA for public registration.
Will the bot read encrypted rooms?
Bot access is designed to be opt-in, consent-based, and no-memory by default.
How much does ZMath cost?
callchat.org hosted Shield is included as the showcase. The paid secure-comms offer is the self-hosted ZMath Shield / Q Call license at USD $55/month or USD $550/year for unlimited users on one approved public server IP.
Can I buy the self-hosted ZMath secure comms license?
Yes. Use the Buy page at /license/#buy. Access is activated privately after payment confirmation and approval.
Does CallChat claim quantum encryption?
No. CallChat uses serious language around PQC-ready research and post-quantum envelope experiments.
Can admins recover Shield files?
Admins should not be treated as plaintext recovery agents. Automatic hosted Shield may offer controlled recovery/export paths later, but public support will not ask for raw Shield secrets.
Is public registration open?
CallChat uses access review and anti-abuse controls before issuing accounts.
Can CallChat be self-hosted?
Yes. Self-hosted ZMath licensing is available for licensed deployments while premium source remains protected.
