Gmail's voice and video chat works fine and has a pretty simple UI. I'm not sure it follows those specs completely but there are open-source clients that can connect to it. The Google client itself has pretty good Windows/OSX/Linux support as a browser plugin and with the Google Voice integration in Gmail you get a pretty full-featured UI to call both people that are on Google Talk and normal phones. Unfortunately the Google Voice stuff is still US only.
- pthatcherg 15y agoGmail's voice and video chat now supports the main Jingle standards, XEP-166 and XEP-167. And there are two open source implementations that it works with: http://code.google.com/p/libjingle http://code.google.com/p/libjingle http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/ http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/
- pedrocr 15y agoI did mention there were open-source implementations that could interface with it. I tested it against empathy (telepathy based) today and was pleasantly surprised with how well it worked. Previous attempts weren't as successful. I tried with both clients inside the same NAT though so I don't know if the firewall punching bits are as good. Thanks for the clarification on the standards, it seems to have evolved since the early days.
