 Voice over IP
 =============
-.. NOTE::
-  This section is a work in progress.
+Matrix can also be used to set up VoIP calls. This is part of the core specification,
+although is still in a very early stage. Voice (and video) over Matrix is based on
+the WebRTC standards.
 
-.. TODO Dave
-    - what are the event types.
-    - what are the valid keys/values. What do they represent. Any gotchas?
-    - In what sequence should the events be sent?
-    - How do you accept / decline inbound calls? How do you make outbound calls?
-      Give examples.
-    - How does negotiation work? Give examples.
-    - How do you hang up?
-    - What does call log information look like e.g. duration of call?
+Call events are sent to a room, like any other event. This means that clients
+must only send call events to rooms with exactly two participants as currently
+the WebRTC standard is based around two-party communication.
