Group chat invitations with jabber

We've got an internal jabber server (Jive Messenger 2.2) set up with several accounts. We can connect to the server with iChat no problem and talk to each other 1-on-1. But if we try to set up a group chat (Invite to chat...), we don't get/see the invitations. Also, the jabber server is set up to let users create group chats and you can see the rooms being created in the jabber server admin tool. Is this not possible with jabber and iChat or is my setup incorrect?
Thanks, Erik

Hi Erik,
My Current Jabber account is showing no Active On line Buddies.
However if I go to the File Menu > New Chat the participants type chat window opens and I can drag multiple people there for a chat.
If I check the Edit menu and Chat Options the chat has a room ID as well.
I would have to test with online people to be able to tell you that your set up was wrong.
IN the case of Jabber answers, take SillyDog's, Gilbert Taylor's or Ryan Mathus' answers over mine.

Setting up Chat Room with Jabber

I am trying to create a chat room for multiple users all using a Jabber (gmail) account within ichat. Is there a special naming protocol to creating a chat room or do you need to create an address somewhere before joining this chat room?
I have no problem doing it with my .me account but for work everyone is on gmail so we ideally be able to use the Jabber accounts for group chats.
I did mange to "create" one called [email protected] (our domain) but when I tried to join I get the grey spinning wheel and don't get any further.
Clearly I'm missing something so any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Sarah

Hi,
GoogleTalk is supposed to allow group chats.
These tend to be called "Conferences" on most Jabber servers.
Most Jabber servers have a section of additional itme your can "register" for and Login to.
However to do this takes a third party app like Psi.
This can then do "Service Discovery" on the server in question and show what features you can sign up for.
These can include "Transports" that allow you to add Buddies from different services and Conference calls.
Having said that if you do Service Discovery on GoogleTalk you find nothing
Many apps also presume the server name is the last part of your user ID and for Google with it's @gmail.com and @googlemail.com this does not work properly in some of these apps.
This page has Instructions for how to set up a Transport to MSN using Psi and you can see the Service Discovery panel.
Essentially a room has to be given a Name and this is coupled with the Jabber server name it is on so that it looks something like this:-
[email protected]
The room "ralph" is on the conference server at the jabber.org.uk server.
Substituting [email protected] does not seem to work as a room name.
It may pay to start from a Web Browser login and see if a room name becomes apparent that way.
Edit
The last two "links" I have tried to remove the Links but they keep get added back

Persistent Chat/MUCs with Jabber 9.7 on CUCM9.1/CUPS9.1

Hello All,
I'm testing Jabber 9.7 internally on a CUCM9.1/CUPS9.1 deployment, in hopes of using persistent chat rooms.
Currently, I have working MUC rooms with 3rd party chat clients, but I think there's a configuration option missing from CUCM or CUPS that's preventing me from using them in Jabber for Windows. From Pidgin, I'm able to join a MUC, and invite another user to that persistent MUC -- however, if a Jabber user tries to invite another Jabber user to that MUC, the invited user will recieve a message: "You have been invited to a chat room. However, Cisco Jabber is not configured for chat room services. Contact your administrator". I can't find it in the documentation anywhere, but I have a feeling if I were running CUCM10/CUPS10, I'd have an option (probably on the CSF) to enable said "Chat Room Services".
Can anyone out there confirm or deny this? If you have a CUCM10 deployment, and it does have this option, can you let me know what actually gets added to the jabberconfig xml file?
Thanks!

Hi famcbwolfe,
I have the same issue, on the same CUCM and CUPS versions.
Was you able to get any further? I too fear that we will need to migration 10.5.
Thanks in advance,
Ed

Jabber 9.2.3 Group Chat Will Not Start

We're having an issue where about half of our Jabber installs cannot start a group chat. When you right-click and select "Start a group chat", you receive the message that you are about ready to start a chat with x number of people and to select continue. Once you select continue, nothing further happens, whereas on the installations that function, the group chat window then launches. Error message from logs below...
2014-11-10 14:34:37,252 ERROR [0x0000cf50] [sets\adapters\imp\components\Log.cpp(35)] [JabberWerx] [IMPStackCap::Log::log] - [XmppSDK.dll]: #0, CXmppMUCRoom::GetGroupChatServer , no MUC_SERVICE is available, please check the configure of server, bPersistent:0
Searched online and only found a few solutions that talk about enabling multi user chat on Presence... which of course it alreay is since half our client workstations can start group chats successfully. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling and removing the user/groups and readding with no success.
Thoughts?
Cordially,

Defined Groups for Cisco Jabber Group Chat

I dont think it is possible based upon this document but wondering if anyone knew any secrets out there. Is it possible to create predefined groups in Jabber for Windows preferably as defined in Active Directory or on the client side? We want to have chat groups automatically created for Sales, Engineering, etc. so users dont have to add other chat recipients users manually and can reach any engineering team member without knowing who is actually part of the engineering team for example.

Hi,
Jabber for Windows 9.7 supports Persistent Chat end user participation.
Our next Release, 10.5 will add Room Administration and Moderator features, including room creation.
Persistent Chat Rooms
Users in your organization can use persistent chat rooms to share ideas and information in a chat room. The chat rooms look like group chats, except that the chat rooms stay active even after participants leave the room. When participants come back to the room, they can scroll back to read the messages that they missed.
Participants can manage their chat rooms by browsing the existing rooms and joining open rooms, or being added to a room by an administrator. When they are in the chat rooms, participants can create mentions for other users, which notifies the mentioned user if they are a member of the room. They can also search chat rooms for particular keywords or senders by creating filters.
Administrator tasks include creating, configuring, and deleting chat rooms, and adding or removing users from chat rooms. In this release, chat room administration and moderation must be performed with a client that supports persistent chat room administration. Cisco Jabber for Windows will provide administrative capabilities in a future release.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Version 10 is a software prerequisite for persistent chat rooms.
For end user information about persistent chat rooms, see the chapter on Chats in the Advanced Feature Guide.
For administrator information about enabling persistent chat rooms, see the Installation and Configuration Guide and the Server Setup Guide.

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
You can leave a group chat any time without compromising any of the separate conversation history or 1-on-1 conversation with the contact who originally invited you to the group. Take a look at our article on group chats explaining its features:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1005/how-do-i-start-a-group-instant-message-in-skype-for-windows-...
P.S.: Just out of curiosity: When you open the Windows discussion board do you see the big green "New Topic" button on top:
If not do you see any other button at that location?

Persistent Chat (Lync Server 2013) with Lync 2010 Group Chat

I have successfully deployed Lync Server 2013 and both 2013 and 2010 desktop clients connect and function as expected.
The problem is with Persistent Chat. It works perfectly with the 2013 desktop client but - whilst 2010 Group Chat connects - I receive the error message "The [LOGON_DOMAIN] is not available". No chat rooms are available and I am unable to search.
I have been unable to locate anything on the web which discusses the problem.
I do not know whether this makes a difference but the 2010 clients use terminals rather than dedicated workstations.
Can anyone shed any light on what the problem may be?

Have you created a CsPersistentChatEndpoint to allow the Group Chat client (2010) to connect to Persistent
Chat server? Please take a look at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204901.aspx

Video chat & Screensharing unavailable with Jabber account in Messages

Dear all,
I use Messages to connect to 2 Jabber services: Google Chat and Facebook Chat.
I've read that Messages can deliver Screensharing and Video Chatting services for Jabber account. However I've never seen this option next to friends' name in Buddy Lists (seperate list). And whenever I select a friend's id (in GChat or FChat), there's always one available action possible: start conversation, and the buttons for starting video chat or screensharing (at the bottom of the buddy list window) are always greyed-out.
After much reading on this site I've still not found out the answer. Can someone helps me on this point ?
Thanks a lot,
M

HI,
A Jabber specific App or a Web Browser with the Google Video Chat Plug-in can do Video chats using the Jingle Protocol that Jabber apps use.
At one time Google seemed to use Flash to do Video chats and there have been reported conflicts with having both Flash and the Google Plug-in active for your web browser.
To state this another way.
Jabber apps tend to be a collection of modules. One of these is the Jingle Library for Video Chats.
Google include this Protocol in their Video Plug-in for web Browsers.
I don't have a Facebook account and cannot tell you if Facebook uses Flash or a similar plug-in for web browsers.
iChat and Messages use a protocol called Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to make Audio Only, Video and Screen Sharing Connections.
SIP is used with Voice over IP apps (VoIP) such as software phones that can use SIP.
Skype also uses SIP but is not compatible with iChat or Messages
What this means is that iChat/Messages will Video or Audio Only or Screen Share to other Macs using iChat or Messages apps irrespective if they are using Jabber based or AIM based names/IDs
What it will not do is connect to PCs using the standalone App called GoogleTalk or to Web Browser logins (on any Platform) of Jabber apps on any platform.
So a Login to Google Chat via a Login to Google Mail's Web Page or iGoogle with the Video Plug-in is likely to show you your Buddies available for Video chats where as iChat to Messages will not.
As Facebook is also a Jabber server the same things will apply.

Why can't I be in a group chat with an android user?

I have the iphone 5 and I am not able to participant in group chats if there is an android user involved. I will not even see the messages that are sent. For example, there is a group chat with another iphone 5 user, an iphone 4s user, and an android user. I am in the chat, as other parties can see my number, but I do not receive any texts from the group.

Because you are using lightroom, whether cs5 supports that camera model or not is irrelevent, unless you open or place the raw file itself into photoshop.
Lightroom does not send a raw file, it sends a tiff or psd (Jpg is also an option if you use a secondary editor) file to photoshop. Odds are greater that lightroom 4 does not support your camera.
Adobe has a list of camera models that each version of lightroom and camera raw support. It will tell you whether you are up to date, need to do an update. If they are not an option then you can use the dng converter or purchase a newer version of lightroom.

Skype Incredibly Slow with Large Group Chats

I was invited to a very large group chat (170 memebers, 100s of posts a say, active for years) and every time i attempt to read it skype grinds to a halt. It can take minutes to load new messages, during which the entire application is unresponsive. Skype is basically always using < 200MB ram during this, but it does seem to use a substantial amount (~1GB) of virtual memory.
It is very frustrating. Is there anything I can do to at least improve the situation?
Im using 7.2 (412) on Yosemite on a Mac Book Air

Iphone 4s with IOS 8.1.3 won't rejoin group chat

Today apparently I accidentally left a group chat I was in with some of my friend. I noticed when I got home and asked one of my friends to add me back which they did. But I'm not getting any of the messages I don't understand what's happening. Can anybody help me?

First, create a backup of your 4S, using iTunes will be quicker than using iCloud. Then, update your 6 to iOS 8.1.3, then erase it: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. At the setup screen, choose to restore from your 4S backup.

I am in a group chat with like 7 other people who all have smartphones. 6 of the people have iPhones, but the other person has android. I'm wondering if the iMessage works for the other 6, and my text count is only being accounted for by the android.

I'm wondering if the iMessage works for the other 6, and my text count is only being accounted for by the android user. I have a monthly limit of 1000 text so I dont want to go over my plan by being in this group if the iMessage doesnt work because of that one android user.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.
