Only the Movim and Dino clients support group voice/video calls at the moment, and Movim is the only client that supports Screensharing (requires a Chromium based browser to screenshare w/audio). permalink fedilink source parent [–] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago Yes XMPP supports voice. Had for well over a decade, maybe two. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SleveMcDichael@programming.dev 1 point 5 months ago I'm not too sure, I didn't look terribly deeply on that front since that's not something my group uses often, and its difficult to test on my own. That said, I believe Matrix does have some level of voice chat support, though AFAIK its more similar to Skype's calls than Discord's drop-in/drop-out voice channels. No idea about XMPP though. permalink fedilink source parent
