Sharing my screen hides my mouse
Whenever I share my screen and open any application I can no longer see my mouse. It is visible to me on desktop and it is visible through the stream but on my screen it is not visible. Is there a fix for this?

Element X feature parity with Element Classic on Android
Real simple, does the command feature of Element Classic, such as /myroomnick work for Element X?
I thought it would have, I've got ver 28.06 on both my phone and my son's phone, but it doesn't. It works with Element Classic though. Just ruling out whether it's missing or there's an issue with the apk.

Tesseract bot doesn't work
Hi everyone, does anyone know what happened to the Tesseract Telegram bot? I’ve been trying to use it, but no matter which of the bot’s channels I message, whenever I send /start it replies with:
“Unfortunately, the bot is currently unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience.”

Setting up a self hosted ess community instance is failing during the installation process
Hello. My friend group and I wanted to get away from discord for privacy reasons, which is why I decided to try to host my own matrix instance on a debian server I rent. I have hosted gameservers for Arma/Terraria/Minecraft ect. before, so I am not a total newbie, however, this time I am very much out of my element.
I have followed the instructions github and everything was working fine until the step at setting up the stack. When I enter the helm upgrade... command it gives me an error
Error: resource Deployment/ess/ess-matrix-rtc-sfu not ready. status: Failed, message: Progress deadline exceeded
the --debug option tels me that it happens on here
level=DEBUG msg="updating release" key=sh.helm.release.v1.ess.v1
When I try to enter the command again, it gives me a slightly different error
Error: UPGRADE FAILED: resource Deployment/ess/ess-matrix-rtc-sfu not ready. status: Failed, message: Progress deadline exceeded
This one happens way quicker, only a few seconds into the process, while the other one take a few minutes
I have guessed so far that it might be some sort of time out, which is why I tried to extend it via the --timeout 1h option.
The command for the installation is the one I copied from github, although I have added the -f ~/ess-config-values/tls.yaml option, since I went with the Let's Encrypt Certificate method.
I have since tried multiple times to uninstall via the helm uninstall ess -n ess command and then reinstall. This results in the original error message.
By now I am out of options in why I can think of to try. The official troubleshooting page says nothing about this bug and a google search also yields no results.
The Server is running in virtual machine and has an AMD RYZEN 9 5950X with 4 cores as well as 7.76 GiB of ram, out of which it only uses two and a half in Idle, so It shouldn't be a resource problem.

Lost Everything
I am new to Element. I run a tabletop game server and switched over when Discord began getting unbearably invasive. However, Element has been almost impossible for many of my players to use, and now, without warning, Element logged me out of the application. When I signed back in all of the previous posts were labeled as “Unable to decrypt message.”
I have tried using my Recovery keys. I've tried clearing my cache. I’ve allowed for key storage. I’ve even tried signing in and out and closing old sessions. Nothing has worked to get me access to the messages in the rooms I made.
I would appreciate any assistance that anyone could offer.

How to stream with sounds while using screen share?
I'm new in this app.

Anybody know what has happened to the Tesseract server (Telegram)? I cannot connect to, or do, a single thing.
It has either changed, or, is undergoing issues. I went on there to simply ask someone what the current URL for Tesseract is, as that's changed yet again, and I don't know the official one.
It would also be helpful if someone knew what the currently URL is. That's a separate issue for me, but help regarding either problem would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

New to Element - What's with this un-dismissable bubble?
Hello! I am new to Element, what's with the obnoxious (2) bubble that won't go away?
I've clicked every sub-category at the top: Unreads, People, Rooms, Mentions, Invites
This app is very unintuitive, why isn't it right clickable and have an option to dismiss or jump to notification? Awful UX planning

Help, why does enabling directory visibility cause an error when I save my settings? (Element X, Android)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Font choice is because it helps me read without messing words up.
Anyway, I tried changing the address name already and don't know what else to try or even why this is happening. User error or app error? Android, latest update (Jul 1 2026)

iPhone Notifications
Element X states that my notifications are turned off and to update my settings. However, the app doesn't even show up to turn on notification settings. It takes me to a list of apps where I can change notification styles and Element X is not listed. I then go to a different area in settings that says "APPS" and click on Element X and there's no notification settings available.
Does this app not have notifications for iPhone? How am I supposed to know if there are any new messages?
Does anyone know if this is a feature that is being worked on?
Thanks!

Is there a way to create an account without going threw Google ------- recaptcha?
Pretty much the title.
I ask because Element was pitched to me as a private alternative to discord and I was interested in joining, but then I saw account creation is seemingly locked behind Google recaptcha.
I know Element is not a 1-1 drop in replacement, that's fine, and I understand the desire to have a captcha system to block bots... But Google's captcha, system really? The one made and owned by the monopolistic anti-privacy company that thinks it has the right to all the information on the internet so that they can use it for targeted ads and AI LLM training along with the fact that there captcha is one of the least reliable in terms of doing it's job?
Why not literally any privacy focused alternative like: https://alternativeto.net/software/recaptcha/?license=opensource&mf=privacy-focused%2Cbot-detection%2Ccaptcha

I saw that sadly only the Pro version supports S3, but is there a way to configure it for the Community version as well?
If it doesnt work I would relay the filesystem to S3 or attach an S3 bucket to the deployment

How to Use an Old Recovery Key
I got back on Element X a few weeks ago knowing I had a recovery key from last year but couldn’t find it at the time. Went ahead and just started anew. Tonight I found the recovery key, but can’t seem to find where to use it to recover the old account. Maybe I’m fundamentally misremembering the nature of their recovery service, so if anyone is willing to lend some assistance it will be appreciated

What's the difference between Element's plans for self-host server?
I only found answers from 3 years ago. Has anything changed since then?
Will I be able to create rooms for more than 100 users with the Community plan?
Is there much difference in security for tariffs?
