Rocket.Chat 6.0 is our most secure and scalable version yet. It includes 10 security patches, 9 brand-new features, and 25+ overall platform enhancements. Visit our website to learn more about what’s new in this latest version. Update now!
Federation allows for unlimited communication between workspaces by making them visible to each other on the federated network.
Rocket.Chat uses the Matrix communication protocol for decentralized and interoperable communications. Organizations can easily connect and collaborate with external parties using any federated Rocket.Chat workspace or Matrix-compatible platform by bridging Rocket.Chat through Matrix.
To enable and set up Federation on your workspace,
Go to Administration > Workspace > Settings > Federation.
Setup and Configure federation with Matrix with this guide.

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