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.
|
|
|
|

Here is an exhaustive list of XMPP clients: https://xmpp.org/software/clients.html
|
|
|
|
## Encrypt conversations with 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`.
|
|
- Turn on the plugin in `Tools > Plugins`.
|
|
- Turn on the encryption in the chat with somebody who also has OMEMO.
|
|
|
|
## 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) in the DNS configuration.
|
|
|
|
## VoIP and videoconferences
|
|
|
|
A practical tool to call an XMPP client, either with voice or voice+video, is to use the [Jitsi](https://jitsi.org/) client.
