Federation allows for an unlimited number of workspaces to communicate with each other. Federating a workspace makes it visible to other workspaces over the federated network, thus making communication with other Federation-enabled servers possible.
To access Federation on your workspace, navigate to Administration > Workspace > Settings > Federation
Rocket.Chat provides Federation using the Matrix Protocol and the Rocket.Chat Federation Network (Will be deprecated on 6.0.0).
Rocket.Chat provides federation in the following ways:
****Matrix Bridge: See how to federate your Rocket.Chat workspace with the Matrix Protocol.
****Rocket.Chat Federation: Learn how to federate with Rocket.Chat basic federation.

- We strongly recommend federating using Matrix Bridge.
