Matrix currently just uses jitsi for group video calls. Native functionality is in development.
It's in beta, but it's already quite usable. You can try it without account on a public instance e.g. at call.element.io
Why did I think that changed with 2.0? Another commenter identified this. Element has native call now.
The experimental Element X client implements it only for mobile, and on desktop you must use the separate Element-call client.
Everything else still uses jitsi.
Like I said, it's in development. Yes, you can jump some hoops to use it, but jitsi in element (and other matrix clients) is sticking around for a while yet.
I bet that's on some document buried somewhere. Thank you!
