Recently started following this project. Looks really promising, and I’m excited to see where it goes. The one deal breaker for me (aside from bugs) is cross-platform syncing. I need to be able to continue conversations on my laptop from my phone. It’s probably very difficult to implement, which is understandable.
An interesting project. I used it for a while, but wound up switching to Riot (now Element)/Matrix due to it being easier to get my friends onto Matrix then Jami.
I'm Ryan f8f8e58db7f991541cb1cbb9e16c077b24ecadce :) Install Jami and let's chat!
I really want to love Jami.
I have not gotten it working in the past, but I just installed it on my new setup, and since people here will be doing the same: Let's chat!
This is what was known as GNU Ring and before that SFLphone.

Wasn't this posted last week?
I'm not sure why they rebranded the project again. I recall the "1.0" version they launched back when it was called Ring wasn't as stable as a 1.0 should be.
Is anyone using this?
Doesn't seem to support 32-bit computers.
I've repeatedly tried, but I have not been able to get Jami to work. At all.
Text messages sent between a Linux PC and an Android device are delivered less than 25% of the time. Neither audio or video calls will connect in either direction.
There are several open bugs on the Jami Gitlab page regarding similar problems on Android but there are no fixes available.
I can't say if Jami is useful in situations where both endpoints are computers and/or iOS devices, but it's completely useless for use cases where one of the parties involved in a communication could be using an Android device.

Are there any working ad free, commercial surveillance free, video chat tools out there? I'm currently self-hosting Jitsi Meet, but that has no video support on Safari and has an artificial video quality limit of 360p on mobile devices. Is there anything better?
