Re: substitute for Skype

[Gottfried]

Thanks for all answers,

I want to use my laptop and talk to somebody or even exeptionally to 
others (several people) in a room, connected through one laptop. 
(through more laptops - I haven't done it yet, so I don't know)

Earlier I used Skype.

Jitsi Meet isn't in guix. But Jami is there.


There are 8 packages for Jami, do I need to install all of them?


ffmpeg-jami     4.4.2   Audio and video framework       htttps://www.ffmpeg.org/

jami    20220726.1515.da8d1da   Qt Jami client  https://jami.net

jami-gnome      20220726.1515.da8d1da   Qt Jami client  https://jami.net

jami-qt 20220726.1515.da8d1da   Qt Jami client  https://jami.net

libjami 20220726.1515.da8d1da   Jami core library and daemon    
https://jami.net/

libring 20220726.1515.da8d1da   Jami core library and daemon    
https://jami.net/

node-jsondiffpatch	0.3.11	Diff & Patch for Javascript objects 
https://github.com/benjamine/jsondiffpatch

pjproject-jami	2.11-0.e1f389d	Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) stack 
https://www.pjsip.org



Additionally, I guess, I have to set up "jami-service-type"
