![]() The work required for the latter seems to be way too much though. However if anything such a system could be used next to the existing Mumble chat unless Mumble was completely switched to using that system for text messages (acting as a server for that messaging protocol as well). That being said I do see the advantages such a system would offer. We should not depend on external services like that. Neither of these alternatives seems any good to me. But what if the server admin doesn't want to do so? If text chat was completely switched to XMPP (or any external service for that matter where the Mumble server is not also acting as a server for the messaging system/protocol) then that would either mean that that admin would not be able to use Mumble or use it but only without text chat. You specified what could happen if a user doesn't want to sign up for XMPP. I definitely agree that the current chat system needs an overhaul. Maybe this could be something implemented as a plugin? ![]() Another option could be just to have second tab for XMPP chat tbh.Īlso I specified XMPP instead of Matrix as there were some pretty big recent issues regarding Matrix as far as privacy goes, I can provide a reference in an edit to this message. But it would essentially be like the chat is currently, just the Murmur host is acting as a XMPP user for multiple users if that makes sense. I'm thinking the Murmur host simply would act as a user, then users on the server (not logged into xmpp) would type and it would come from the Murmur server with their name after it or something along those lines. The only issue I see if how they would do it if they choose not to sign into an XMPP account. ![]() It could offer users a way to direct message while offline, etc. Not to mention, the major ability to login to the XMPP chat from any device, with any client (supporting XMPP) to chat, without needing to connect to Mumble. while talking, and the current chat impementation really isn't amazing for that even with the available plugins. I don't think it would be out of scope, people like to send messages, pictures, videos, etc. That being said, Mumble already does have chat functionality, I am not suggesting a full featured Discord clone here, but simply improving the usability of the chat system currently in place already a bit. While more complicated, it would allow more control and choice to the server host/user. Well true, my idea behind having two seperate servers is the user can choose to use whichever implementation of XMPP they wish, then simply connect it to their Murmur server.
