# Element Classic

**Element Classic** is the specific version of the Element mobile application required for users at the Universität Greifswald.

## Authentication Requirement
The use of Element Classic is mandatory for mobile users because the newer **Element X** version does not support login via [[shibboleth]], which is the university's required authentication method for the Matrix service.
