@ -27,9 +27,12 @@ released version of Riot:
Releases are signed using gpg and the OpenPGP standard, and can be checked against the public key located
at https://packages.riot.im/riot-release-key.asc.
Note that Chrome does not allow microphone or webcam access for sites served
over http (except localhost), so for working VoIP you will need to serve Riot
over https.
Note that for the security of your chats will need to serve Riot
over HTTPS. Major browsers also do not allow you to use VoIP/video
chats over HTTP, as WebRTC is only usable over HTTPS.
There are some exceptions like when using localhost, which is
considered a [secure context](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/Security/Secure_Contexts)
and thus allowed.
To install Riot as a desktop application, see [Running as a desktop
app](#running-as-a-desktop-app) below.
