YunoHost comes installed with an instant messaging server Metronome which implements the [XMPP protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Messaging_and_Presence_Protocol)(previously known as Jabber), by default.
XMPP is an open and extensible protocol which allows to create chatrooms, to share status and data, to give calls in VoIP and videoconferences.
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.
All applications based on XMPP are compatible with each other : when using an XMPP client, you can interact with anybody who has an XMPP/Jabber account. This protocol is already used by millions of people around the world.
XMPP is an extensible protocol - this means users can configure "extensions" to chatrooms, to share messages and files, and to make voice and video calls using XMPP.
### XMPP/Jabber account
## XMPP account
An XMPP/Jabber account is based on an identifier with the structure `user@domain.tld`, and a password.
To use an XMPP account you need a username, which takes the format: `user@domain.tld`, and a password.
In YunoHost, this identifier simply corresponds to the main email address of a user, with his regular password.
With YunoHost, an XMPP account is created for a registered account automatically. The XMPP account can be used with the main email address and her YunoHost password.

### Encrypt conversations with OMEMO
## Encrypt conversations with OMEMO
XMPP chats can be encrypted with the help of [OMEMO](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0384.html), for instance using Gajim :
* Install `gajim` and the plugin `gajim-omemo`
* Enable the plugin in `Tools > Plugins`
* Enable it
* Enable the encryption in the chat with somebody who also has OMEMO
XMPP chats can be made secure and private using [OMEMO] encryption (https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0384.html), for instance using Gajim:
- Install `gajim` and the plugin `gajim-omemo`
- Enable the plugin in `Tools > Plugins`
- Enable it
- Enable the encryption in the chat with somebody who also has OMEMO
### Chatrooms
## Chatrooms
To create a chatroom (multi-user chat) on your YunoHost server, use the identifier `chatroomname@muc.yourdomain.tld`.
For this to work you need to [add the corresponding `muc.` DNS record](dns_config_fr) in the DNS configuration.
### VoIP and videoconferences
## VoIP and videoconferences
A practical tool to call an XMPP client, either with voice or voice+video, is to use the client [Jitsi](http://jitsi.org/).
