Rocket.Chat is a secure collaboration platform for organizations that need full control over their communications and data. You can run it on your own infrastructure, in a sovereign or air-gapped environment, or as a cloud-hosted workspace.
What you can do with Rocket.Chat
Team collaboration: Communicate in channels, teams, discussions, and direct messages, with threads, file sharing, and search.
Omnichannel customer engagement: Serve customers and citizens over the Livechat widget, email, WhatsApp, and other channel apps from one agent workspace.
Voice and conference calls: Make calls with Rocket.Chat Voice and connect conference apps such as Jitsi, Pexip, Google Meet, and BigBlueButton.
Federation: Collaborate across organizations through Matrix federation while each participant keeps its own infrastructure and data.
Extensibility: Install apps from the Rocket.Chat Marketplace, build private apps, and integrate through the Rocket.Chat API.
