I'd like to take the opportunity to remind you that XMPP video calls exist!
They're not supported by _all_ clients and not for group calls. But 1:1 calls work perfectly fine!
And: They're encrypted if you chose OMEMO encryption in your conversation with another user. 💪
Looking for a client to try XMPP audio/ video calls? Try Dino or Conversations for Android :)

Ich nutze bzgl. IM nur #Jabber/#XMPP, seit ≈ 2014. Finde ich besser als SIgnal, weil:
1. Kann mir den Server (-Standort) aussuchen, auch den Domainname. Ich habe z.B. ein "debian.org" account, einen anderen mit dem Namen meiner Firma, wobei der Server auch in der Firma läuft. Also #digitaleSouveränität.
2. Ich habe kein Android oder iOS. Signal läuft als Desktop-App auch nur, wenn man zusätzlich ein Smartphone nutzt. WTF? Jabber hat gute Desktop-Clients wie #Dino und #Gajim.

Yes!

Thanks to the November 2025 #Berlin XMPP meetup, where somebody made it work again, while @dino worked on #Dino 🙂
#gutenMorgen!
Habe ich in letzter Zeit etwas zu viel #ARK gezockt und Dinos gezähmt?
Vielleicht :D
Erstmal #Kaffee

Isn't it terrible when one needs to be grateful for #Google?
Working backwards, it appears the general portion of #XMPP extensions (#XEP) most-likely involved in any client managing mult stream multimedia includes #XEP0166 - #Jingle. - https://xmpp.org/extensions/#xep-0166-implementations
#Dino is partway there.
I do not have the chops for erlang/elixir. But there are a number of projects working on getting to usable.
& saw other discussions about an XMPP<->SIP 'unified signalling protocol" theory.

The core specifications for XMPP are developed at the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The XSF develops extensions to XMPP through a lightweight standards process centered around XMPP Extension Protocols (XEPs). XMPP RFCs RFC 6120 XMPP Core …
Just when you thought Spinosaurus couldn't be *more* terrifying... THROW A HORN ON IT!
