• An external shareholder wouldn’t need to create a matrix account just to talk to you.

    That’s a really good point. I have forgotten whether there are anonymous accounts in Matrix for rooms, but even if so it wouldn’t be the same as scheduling a meeting and sending a specific meeting link a-la Zoom.

    Yeah, this is the reason.

      I’m not 100% sure. The “new” element call does not need an existing matrix account. But the people who decide upon the software aren’t always up to date or maybe element call will change

      • Ah. Also, such a large organization probably doesn’t want to bet the farm on a relatively new and unproven feature.

        I’m guessing they have some minimum standards for age and stability.

          That’s also a good question. I wouldn’t consider matrix too new or unstable. Also, there are too many huge and important stakeholders in matrix. Matrix won’t go away in the next years.
