# End to end encryption by default
By default, Element will create encrypted DM rooms if the user you are chatting with has keys uploaded on their account.
For private room creation, Element will default to encryption on but give you the choice to opt-out.
## Disabling encryption by default
Set the following on your homeserver's
`/.well-known/matrix/client` config:
```json
{
"im.vector.riot.e2ee": {
"default": false
}
}
```
