Q: Can I connect an existing Element/Matrix account to Beeper to view my Matrix messages there?
A: No, you can’t connect an additional Matrix account to Beeper. Beeper already uses your Beeper account as a Matrix account, so you can use that Beeper Matrix identity instead. If you want to view or send Matrix messages in Beeper, use your Beeper account rather than trying to add a separate Element/Matrix account.
