<h1>Introduction</h1>
|
|
XMPP is an instant messaging protocol. It stands for Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol. It supports most
|
|
things you would expect from a messaging protocol such as: Audio and video calls, Chatrooms and End to End encryption.
|
|
The problem with using XMPP is that most clients for it could be a lot better. Most lack features or are just overall
|
|
buggy, but it's fine for the most part.
|
|
|
|
<h1>Registration</h1>
|
|
You can register through your client. You are also able to register through a website located at:
|
|
<a href="https://qwik.space:5443/register/"> https://qwik.space:5443/register/</a> When registering use
|
|
chat.qwik.space as server address. Once signed up your JID (Jabber ID) will be username@chat.qwik.space. People will use this
|
|
address to contact you.
|
|
|
|

<h1>Chatrooms</h1>
|
|
XMPP allows you to create public chatrooms, also known as MUCs (Multi-User Chats). You are able to create one through your client.
|
|
When you are creating one, you may be prompted to provide an address. There you should write "name@muc.qwik.space"<br><br>
|
|
|
|
You may be prompted to choose between a private and public room. The difference being that a private room supports encryption and to
|
|
enter a private room you have to be invited. You are able to enter a public room if you know the address or have been invited.<br><br>
|
|
|
|
Once created you can invite your friends through the client or give them the address. It's also possible
|
|
to create invite links, you can do this like following: <a href="xmpp:qwik@muc.qwik.space?join">xmpp:qwik@muc.qwik.space?join</a>
|
|
|
|
<h1>Audio and video calls</h1>
|
|
Some XMPP clients supports audio and video calls. If your client supports it, there will be a call button. It requires that the one on the other end has a
|
|
supported client and is online. The calls are encrypted if you are using OMEMO, which I highly I recommend using.
|
|
|
|
<h1>Encryption</h1>
|
|
XMPP supports two different encryption methods: OMEMO and OTR. I personally don't recommend using anything other than OMEMO. It's the easiest to use
|
|
and all the clients mentioned above supports it. Some clients support OTR, but I don't recommend using it because it doesn't support encryption for audio and video
|
|
calls. It also lacks support for MUCs. <br><br>
|
|
|
|
note: Gajim on Linux may require you to install an external package depending on distribution: gajim-omemo
|
|
