You wan't to move from #Discord to #Movim and #XMPP, but you really miss one or two core feature?
-
I asked my discord using kid, and they use google meet for video calls instead of Discords built in tools.
So I think the bundle of related rooms is probably most important.
I personally think tools to streamline moderation and being able to kick out harassers is a big reason why group chat tools are more popular than public forums or microblogging tools.
-
For me, multi-user video calls (2..10 users, ideally up to 100) would be the killer feature.
Audio MUCs and spaces are nice to have, but less crucial.
-
@movim 100% reliability. No message loss.
-
@movim Easy deployment of custom emojis.
-
@movim@piaille.fr
Mostly I have the impression that there's limited support across clients for custom animated emoji. -
@movim using sign @ of to call the user
-
@movim spaces are the most important (and now standard in XMPP!), second are the audio channels (with the possibility to see who's inside without joining)
Thank you for your work

️@movim and do you support openid? For structures with already with a user base (for example a discourse forum) trying to migrate instant messaging out of discord

@movim Spaces would be great, especially with an in depth ACL like Discord has for setting permissions along with roles. I don't know if it's currently possible with XMPP but that is my current dream feature(s).

@movim indeed. so many times it has wanted to stream a game to someone and had to resort to Twitch or self-hosting OvenMediaEngine/OvenPlayer or whatever
For our Korean language study group on Discord we really need this missing feature!
@whoosh @EllenInEdmonton @jcurries shall we test other platforms?
-
@movim I miss people.
-
@movim one nice thing om Discord is the ability to have multiple people share screens on a call, and participants can choose which one to watch at any time. This makes pair programming sessions or similar collaboration where you want to simulate hanging out together and working on the same thing a lot smoother. I haven't actually checked lately if Jitsi ocan do this though, so would be interested to know.

@movim I've seen many Discord users saying they need server emojis (I don't know if that's already implemented or not).

@bkhl This is already possible but it is not possible to "choose" one to watch in prority for now.

@movim you mean multiple people can screen share but it will show up the same as multiple people being on web cam?

FYI, if you happen to be on Linux and using PipeWire, you can work around this limitation in any VoIP software that does not yet support sharing desktop audio!
There's a piece of software called qpwgraph (Qt PipeWire Graph) that let's you re-wire the input and output between applications. With this you can wire the audio from your game to movim's input so it will be mixed with your mic's input!
(I'll let you figure out the other fun shenanigans you can pull with this)

@bkhl https://mov.im/community/pubsub.movim.eu/Movim/here-comes-movim-0-31-codename-kameny-yQUilX
"Until now, Movim was sending and receiving only two tracks, one audio and one video when initiating a call to the other participants. With this important improvement Movim is now able to handle several video tracks at the same time from a unique participant."

It will be improved in the upcoming days. I actually have https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0507.html to implement regarding that topic, it allow to tag the media streams

@Naughtylus @0x7700e6 Its a nice way to make it working.
But lets add desktop audio sharing in Movim for the non-hackers as well


this might be interesting for you considering the other thread
