-Matrix can also be used to set up VoIP calls. This is part of the core

+This module outlines how two users in a room can set up a Voice over IP (VoIP)
+call to each other. Voice and video calls are built upon the WebRTC 1.0 standard.
+Call signalling is achieved by sending `message events`_ to the room. As a result,

 Glare
 ~~~~~
-This specification aims to address the problem of two users calling each other
-at roughly the same time and their invites crossing on the wire. It is a far
-better experience for the users if their calls are connected if it is clear
-that their intention is to set up a call with one another. In Matrix, calls are
-to rooms rather than users (even if those rooms may only contain one other user)
-so we consider calls which are to the same room. The rules for dealing with such
-a situation are as follows:
 
- - If an invite to a room is received whilst the client is preparing to send an
+"Glare" is a problem which occurs when two users call each other at roughly the

+incoming/outgoing call. A glare resolution algorithm can be used to determine
- - If an invite to a room is received after the client has sent an invite to
+which call to hangup and which call to answer. If both clients implement the
-   the same room and is waiting for a response, the client should perform a
+same algorithm then they will both select the same call and the call will be
-   lexicographical comparison of the call IDs of the two calls and use the
+successfully connected.
-   lesser of the two calls, aborting the greater. If the incoming call is the
+
-   lesser, the client should accept this call on behalf of the user.
+
+As calls are "placed" to rooms rather than users, the glare resolution algorithm
+outlined below is only considered for calls which are to the same room. The
+algorithm is as follows:
+
+ - If an invite to a room is received whilst the client is **preparing to send**
+   an invite to the same room:
+
+    * the client should cancel its outgoing call and instead
+      automatically accept the incoming call on behalf of the user.
+
+ - If an invite to a room is received **after the client has sent** an invite to
+   the same room and is waiting for a response:
+
+    * the client should perform a lexicographical comparison of the call IDs of
+      the two calls and use the **lesser** of the two calls, aborting the
+      greater. If the incoming call is the lesser, the client should accept
+      this call on behalf of the user.
+
 
 The call setup should appear seamless to the user as if they had simply placed
-a call and the other party had accepted. Thusly, any media stream that had been
+a call and the other party had accepted. This means any media stream that had been
 setup for use on a call should be transferred and used for the call that
 replaces it.
