By default, YunoHost comes installed with an instant messaging server called Metronome which implements the [XMPP protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Messaging_and_Presence_Protocol) (previously known as Jabber).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This protocol is already used by millions of people around the world—it is an open protocol.
|
||
|
|
All applications based on XMPP are compatible with each other: When using an XMPP client, you can interact with anybody who has an XMPP account.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
XMPP is an extensible protocol—this means users can configure "extensions" to chatrooms, share messages and files, and make voice and video calls using XMPP.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## XMPP account
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use an XMPP account you need a username, in the format: `user@domain.tld`, and a password.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With YunoHost, an XMPP account is created for all YunoHost users automatically.
|
||
|
|
The XMPP account credentials corresponds to the user's main e-mail address and password.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you wish to know more about using XMPP, refer to the [User guide](/XMPP).

## Incompatibility with Prosody
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Prosody, an alternative XMPP server, is packaged for YunoHost.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is notably used by Peertube's chat feature, and Jitsi for video conferences. Installing these apps will install Prosody, which needs to disable Metronome to work properly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
! In summary, installing Prosody or an app relying on it will disable the XMPP server.
