Hi Gottfried,

I've used Jami until recently. As other people already mentioned, installing
the "jami" package should be enough.
I only used it to converse with one person at a time, not group
[audio|video]chats. When it worked, it was enjoyable. Unfortunately, most of
the time it didn't.
I tried it for several months at different times, checking if upgrades would
improve the experience, but the experience wasn't good enough to grow a list of
contacts that included people from mainstream culture (people used to WhatsApp
and proprietary software in general). The few contacts I had (~5) eventually
stopped using the application because of its constant malfunctioning. Some
contacts left making harsh comments about it.
Most noticeable problems:
• Missing messages
• Sharing images, voice messages and files seldom worked
This was pretty much people on Windows and Android devices and only me on a
Guix System. The problems were not limited to communication with me, though,
they were also present in android-to-android and windows-to-android
communication.
There were a couple of times though were I could stablish audio communication
for more than one hour without problems. But those times were exceptions.
That said, please try it out. Maybe things have changed. I hope.
Also, if you'd like to try it out, make sure there are substitutes available.
Last time I upgraded my profile (10 days ago) there were no substites for
"libjami", I think, and my computer was not powerful enough to build it.
