# Beta Features
|
|
|
|
A feature is marked as beta when it is nearly ready for production and the
|
|
team would like to gather wider feedback before turning it on by default.
|
|
|
|
Betas are visible to all users, [**including** users who have disabled labs settings
|
|
tab](./config.md)
|
|
|
|
**Be warned! Beta features are not considered stable and should not be relied upon!**
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
A beta feature MUST first become a labs feature before it can become a beta (see
|
|
[Labs](./labs.md)).
|
|
|
|
A beta feature MUST have an expected timeline to be upgraded to a stable feature. This timeline
|
|
should not exceed 3 months. If a feature persists in beta for longer and hasn't been explicitly
|
|
extended, the feature MAY be backed out to labs.
|
|
|
|
A beta feature SHOULD have a rollback path for users to opt-out. If a feature is irreversible or
|
|
could corrupt a user's session or account, it should not be in beta. If this is not possible, it
|
|
MUST be discussed with the team first to devise an alternative strategy.
|
|
|
|
A beta feature SHOULD have analytics so that the team can understand how many users
|
|
are using it.
|
|
|
|
## Current Betas
|
|
|
|
This is the current set of betas enabled in Element Web.
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
### New notifications settings (`feature_notification_settings2`) [Beta]
|
|
|
|
Replaces the legacy notification settings with a new one to manage push rules.
|
|
|
|
**Warning** This feature has options which are not backwards compatible, disabling
|
|
it may have unintended consequences.
