Beta features
Beta features are features that are not ready for production yet but the team wants more people to try the features and give feedback on them.
Before a feature gets into its beta phase, it is often a labs feature (see Labs).
Be warned! Beta features may not be completely finalised or stable!
Threaded Messaging (feature_thread)
Threading allows users to branch out a new conversation from the main timeline of a room. This is particularly useful in high traffic rooms where multiple conversations can happen in parallel or when a single discussion might stretch over a very long period of time.
Threads can be access by clicking their summary below the root event on the room timeline. Users can find a comprehensive list of threads by click the icon on the room header button.
This feature might work in degraded mode if the homeserver a user is connected
to does not advertise support for the unstable feature org.matrix.msc3440 when
calling the /versions API endpoint.
Video rooms (feature_video_rooms)
Enables support for creating and joining video rooms, which are persistent video chats that users can jump in and out of.
