## Embedded vs standalone mode
|
|
|
|
Element call is developed using the js-sdk with matroska mode. This means the app can run either as a standalone app directly connected to a homeserver providing login interfaces or it can be used as a widget.
|
|
|
|
As a widget the app only uses the core calling (matrixRTC) parts. The rest (authentication, sending events, getting room state updates about calls) is done by the hosting client.
|
|
Element Call and the hosting client are connected via the widget api.
|
|
|
|
Element call detects that it is run as a widget if a widgetId is defined in the url parameters. If `widgetId` is present element call will try to connect to the client via the widget postMessage api using the parameters provided in [Url Format and parameters
|
|
](./url-params.md).
