Federation

Federation allows for an unlimited number of workspaces to communicate with each other. Federating a workspace makes it visible to other workspaces over the federated network, thus making communication with other federation-enabled servers possible. It offers a great way to collaborate with partners, customers, and other organizations, regardless of which chat platform they use.

Rocket.Chat provides Federation using the Matrix Protocol by default.

To access Federation on your workspace,

• Navigate to Administration > Workspace > Settings > Federation.

• Matrix Bridge: See how to federate your Rocket.Chat workspace with the Matrix Protocol.

Rocket.Chat basic federation is deprecated from version 6.0. Thus, we strongly recommend using Matrix Bridge.
