OTR only protects the text content of your messages. It doesn't protect the metadata, or many of the other features XMPP provides from status to file transfers and voice/video calls.
- shmerl 12y agoFor media calls there is ZRTP.
- MattJ100 12y agoI'm not an expert in this field, but as far as I know ZRTP trust is bootstrapped from the signalling channel (in this case your XMPP connection). So a MITM there could also MITM your voice/video. And again, your metadata and signalling would still be exposed without encryption - along with your IP addresses (ICE candidates), etc.
