Jupiter Broadcasting Matrix Quick Start Guide

This is a quick guide on how to get started with Matrix chat for the Jupiter Broadcasting shows. It is also in video form here:

Instructions

You will need a client, and you can use a web-based one by going here:
https://app.element.io

1. If you don’t already have an account:
   1. Choose to “Create Account”
   2. Choose “Advanced” (Other Server)
   3. For the server URL enter:
      https://colony.jupiterbroadcasting.com
      This will be your homeserver, which handles your messages
   4. Enter a username and password, and click “Register”
   5. Choose “Generate a security key”
      This is to keep your one-to-one messages encrypted
2. Once you are logged into the Element client, you will probably want to set your display name:
   1. Click your user picture at the top, and choose “All Settings”
   2. You can then change your display name and also upload a picture if you want
3. To join the chat rooms, click the “Explore Rooms” button (it looks like a compass)
4. Note that if you are on a different homeserver, you may need to “Add a Server” and enter “jupiterbroadcasting.com” as the server to find rooms on.

Other Useful Info
