Rocket.Chat Federation
Effective December 15, 2023, Rocket.Chat will cease support for connections from cloud services and official mobile/desktop apps to workspaces running legacy versions outside our support window. Users on unsupported legacy servers are advised to upgrade to the latest Rocket.Chat version to ensure continued access to cloud, mobile, and desktop applications. Each Rocket.Chat version is supported for six months post-release.
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.

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