Voice chat with psi -- Google chat

Hello all,
I have been trying to find a linux IM app that can use voice chat with Google Talk. As far as I can tell, psi is supposed to support this.
I tried version 0.11 from pacman, which connects and everything but there does not seem to be any voice chat.
I used the AUR package and compiled the latest svn version, 0.12rc3 and it works ok, but I still can't find anything within the program to do with voice chatting.
I have been all over the psi wiki etc., and it all seems to suggest that voice chat is included and is working with google chat, but I sure can't find it. Some info dates back to late 2005 with the libjingle branch, but I believe libjingle is now in the main program.
Can someone tell me if voice chat is included in psi, and if so maybe a hint on what might be going wrong for me.
Cheers,
Wittfella

I have been banging my head agaist this and am slowly getting somewhere now...
Psi does come with jingle, but its not enabled by default, because its still deemed 'experimental'.
To get the psi-svn AUR package to compile with voice chat support you have to do a number of things:
1. Use the 'configure-jingle' with '--enable-jingle' option instead of the regular 'configure' script.
./configure-jingle --prefix=/usr --enable-jingle
You can either modify the PKGBUILD or do it all manually.
2. You have to have a specific version of ortp installed otherwise it will not compile. This happens to be ortp-0.7.1 but our pacman version is up to 0.14.0 or so. Luckily you can find the sources for ortp-0.7.1 and it compiles and installs fine.
3. Now the biggest problem. When you try to compile you will get gazillions of errors. It turns out they are quite simple, and are caused by the incompatability problem with gcc-4.3. Most of the errors are solved by opening the offending header file and inserting.
#include <cstring>
So after all that, the good news is I have managed to create a working copy of psi with voice support, however:-
psi <--> google talk connects but there is no audio from either end
psi <--> psi voice chat seems to work fine
If anyone is interested I created packages for psi and ortp. Let me know if you have any more success with google talk.
psi-jingle-1166-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
ortp-0.7.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

I have an iphone 4s, I installed Vtok but the video chatting part of the app is not working when I try to chat with my husband through gmail on his PC. Can I fix this or is there another app that will let me chat with my gmail chat contacts?

Vtok video chatting is not working on my iphone 4s. When I try to do a video chat with my gmail chat contacts who are using a PC we each only get the voice part of the chat and no video. Is there some way to fix this or is there another program that will let me video chat with my gmail chat contacts? Thank you.

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

A sudden problem using chat when talking withh AT&T Tech Supprt. They spent 90 minutes checking the problem & it all came Down to Fixfox. When trying to chat with them the CHAT BOX blinks off

A problem recently developed using Firefox. When I now try to Chat with AT&T Tech Support about my internet, the CHAT BOX blinks on & off every second. It used to work fine but now it doesn't.
AT&T Tech Support just spent 93 minutes on the phone controlling my computer by remote & every thing pointed to Firefox. It does work fine with all other browsers, too.
AT&T suggested a new auto update for Windows 7 might not be compatible with Firefox. Is there any way to fix this problem?
I'm using Firefox 4.0.1 because Firefox 5 isn't compatible with 2 Tool Bars I need for some very important websites that I can't be without. Firefox said they're working on the problem & I'll upgrade when they've fixed it. But for now, I need this problem fixed.
Thanks!

Don't expect support here. Nokia does not bother to pay a tech or two to support the people who have bought the 920. Not really a point to these forums.
Anyways, i have huge bt issues as well. Cannot connect or see my jawbone. In truck with pioneer nav system (it is illegal here to use a phone without handsfree in vehicle) it links, but when i make a call or receive a call it shows the phone off the receiver icon so it knows call in progress, but i either get no sound from the caller... at all, or i get a robotic mess i cannot decipher. when i cannot hear anything, people can hear me, but when i hear robotic, people can hear me but with distortion. However, when it reads a text message, the phone voice is fine through the system. Because i have to turn bt off then to use phone, i have to return this handset and just go back to android.
Have also had this drop calls a few times now as reception is probably the worst i have seen in a decade... even drops in downtown core. Battery life poor because i assume its always struggling for a signal.

Is their a way to make and receive calls to USA and Canada and iphone with a Google account that has an American phone Registered to it?

Hi, I have and iPhone 4s running ios 8.0.2. I live in the middle east and would like to make and receive phone calls to people living in USA and Canada from my iphone. I have a Google account with an American number registered in it, but unfortunately it seems that I can only send messages and voice mail with my google voice account to USA and Canada because I live in the Middle East. I asked a similar question on another website and one person said that I could get what I want by using a VoIP/PBX account from pxbes.com and use this account with an application called "Acrobits softphone" from the App Store. Also he said that that I can use google chat to get my calls into the PBX account but he didn't say how and i don't know how. Does anyone know how this thing works or any other way to make and receive calls with America and Canada by using my google voice account. I don't care if it costs money as long as people can get in touch with me by using my American phone number.

I have exactly the same concern. It seems it would be a simple fix for Apple to allow users to turn off the camera (and even the mic) while keeping FaceTime open -- especially now that it turns out FaceTime must remain open in order to send and receive iPhone calls on a Mac.
I like to think this new functionality of FaceTime will be baked into a future release of Yosemite, as the current setup has that not-quite-finished feel of a work in progress. In the meantime, there's nothing like a little piece of Post-It stuck over the camera to keep the NSA from watching your face as you type a post to the Apple Support Communities.

Why can't voice/video chat with Gtalk?!!

Hi
It is a big problem that I am not able to do voice/video chat with my friends who use Google Talk on PC. I tried several advices to make iChat enable but all were unsuccessful.
What do you think?

Hi all. I want to make audio chat with my brother. I use iChat on my MBP. He uses Gtalk on his windows PC. The problem is that the audio icon is gray. Is there anyway? Can iChat make voice chat with Gtalk on windows?

Hi all. I want to make audio chat with my brother. I use iChat on my MBP. He uses Gtalk on his windows PC. The problem is that the audio icon is gray so I cannot start audio chat. Is there anyway? Can iChat make voice chat with Gtalk on windows or not? I am confused.

HI,
You need to satisfy several things along the way
Account type
You need to have a Jabber or Google mail Account your self.
If you have a Google Mail Account then it needs the "Talk" option Enabled in your Google account Settings ( A Facebook with "Chat" enabled is also a valid Jabber ID to use in iChat).
Connection Method
This is about which apps can connect to which apps for Video ro Audio to work.
iChat Video when using a Jabber account is iChat to iChat Only.
iChat connects using a process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)
Jabber based Apps if they have an A/V module connect using protocol called Jingle.
Needless to say Google do their own version of this that is written in to the web Browser Plugin that allows Video Chats (there are PC and Mac versions), and in the PC app called GoogleTalk.
However it is also not that compatible with other Jabber apps.
See Jingle here
This claims, now, that Google had a hand in writing the Protocol.
Also in the "Clients Supporting Jingle" list many more version of Google products are mentioned with extended info. (it suggests that someone at Google has been editing the page).
Can iChat make voice chat with Gtalk on windows or not?
The specific answer to this to be clear is NO.
We are talking about different Apps (or web Browser Plugins) using different Internet Protocols that are not compatible.
The simplest thing is to get the Web Browser Plugin (However there can be issues with the Flash Plugin)
At one time Google used Flash to do Video Chats and it would seem their Plugin is very close to this part of Flash.
See the Known Issues and the "Google Talk Plugin Disables iSight On Mac" item.
Options
Use a Web Browser yourself with the Plugin.
Use a Flash Base Site such as MeBeam (Flash has to be enabled in your Browser and the instructions are simple on the page)
Try to find a Jingle capable Mac Jabber Client (app) ( I have not found one).

Video camera does not work firefox 8.0.1 with google chat

I have a macbook pro os x 10.7.2 . I have the latest google video plugins ....also I removed and tried reinstalling the plugin for video chat. I have a built in camera. So when I go to google/mail settings, and check my settings, I cant see myself in the video box. If I video chat with someone else, they can see me, but I cant see myself.
If I use Safari or google crome for my browser, google video chat works great. I can see myself and see the person I am video chatting with.
So, I think it's a problem with the Firefox browser. I am using 8.0.1
thanks
Walt

You can [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling%20Firefox?s=uninstall+firefox&r=0&as=s uninstall] Firefox 8 first before you downgrade to Firefox 7. However, when you uninstall, make sure that you '''don't''' choose the option "'''Remove my Firefox Personal Data'''".
You can access a list of [ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ Previous Versions of Firefox], however, note that Firefox recommends using the latest version since older version may have security and safety vulnerabilities.
'''P.S:''' it may be a good idea to create a Restore Point before you uninstall, in case you mess up, in which case you can just restore and start over.

Facetime with Google Chat

On GMail you have the capability to open a video chat while in a chat with someone online. I know that facetime operates off the same principal of contacting you through your e-mail address and I was wondering if it was possible to use facetime (or some other application I am not aware of) to utilize google chats video capabilities. I know you can download a "facetime app" for macbook or PC, but I would like to be able to initiate a video chat via my iPad with people who are using Gmail chat.

Built in iSight not working with Google chat?

Hi all,
I recently updgraded to Mac OS X version 10.7.2 for my Intel based iMac. Since then, the built in iSight camera does not work with Google Chat. It does work with iChat and Photobooth though.
I reistalled the Google chat plug in (or I guess I installed it again). I ran a check, and my software updates are current. I tried the power down, unplug the power cord, wait 15 seconds routine, and that didn't work either.
When I go in to Mail Settings in gmail, click Chat, and then Verify your Settings, I don't see anything in the window next to it - just black.
Does anyone have any good ideas to help? Using google chat is just a lot more convenient for me than using iChat...
Thanks!

Hi,
For some time now the Google Web Browser Video Chat plug-in (Also and automatic part of Installing Chrome) has been an issue in relation to going to Video Chat sites that use the Flash Plug-in.
My Flash Plug-in in Lion is version 11.1 r102
I don't have the Google one so I could not tell you the latest from them.
I am not sure that Google are moving very fast, if at all on this matter.
It could be as soon as either Flash makes an update it ruins the progress Google have made.

Need help with Google Chat

Hi,
These questions might be really simple because I think I'm one of the only people in the UK that's never used an IM before. I thought that as my phone (Palm Pre) could do instant messaging I'd have a go at it. I already had a google mail account (set up to sync my calendars) so thought it'd be easiest to use google chat. However, I seem to only be able to chat with people I've invited or who have invited me to to be their firends, but I can't work out how to do this on the phone.
Yesterday my husband used his phone (HTC desire) to invite me to be his friend on google chat but I couldn't see the invite on my phone. I had to log into my google account on my PC and accept the invitation before we could chat. I also can't see how I invite other people via my phone. I tried logging onto my google account using my phone's browser, but it didn't seem to display the bit where you type the name to invite people.
My other question is probably even more basic. If I have friends on MSN or other messenger services can I contat them using my googlechat service on my phone, or do I have to set up an account for each different messaging service.
Thanks to anyone who can help on this.
P.S. Please don't let my husbands phone be better at this than mine or I'll never hear the end of it :-)

Ovi chat with Google talk account not seamless..

With a little bit of seraching related to the above topic i didn't find many threads related to this, so its worth starting a new one.
Everytime i open Software Update application on my 5800 i see this 'Ovi contacts 1.20' so updated to it few days back all went well and to my surprise it had an option to invite Google talk accounts too, i like somthing which comes along with the device so that we dont rely on third parties too much. I found that chatting is not that seamless, when i chat with someone the message i send is not reaching them instantly nor the one coming from the other end appears on my 5800(v40), suddenly 3 to 4 chat messages pop up, this is sort of annoying the entire purpose of Instant chat or messaging is defeated, even i did one more test , opended Nimbuzz and Ovi chat and initaited a chat, message i send from Ovi to Nimbuzz comes instantly and the reverse doesn't and suddenly 3 to 4 messages pop up.
So has anyone, using Ovi contacts, facing this and found anything please reply. I haven't tested with OVI-OVI conatcts hope atleast that works instantly.
Thanks........

Any idea how to voice chat with yahoo users ?

Hi,
I need to voice chat with my brother. He uses yahoo messenger and he refuses to use skype for some reason
I have tried :
1. Gyache : I did not manage to install it. Moreover, some people on the forums are saying it supports voice chat rooms not voice call.
2. Skype : My brother won't use this.
3. Ekiga tweak to call yahoo : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=414121
This is not ok too.
I need something which will let me voice chat with my brother . And it is also required that my brother need not do anything ( like accepting buddy for the ekiga case ).
4. Empathy : Wha. How to install it properly ?
5. Kopete : Are you sure it has voice chat ? I did not find anywhere that kopete supports voice chat.
6. Meebo : I clicked audio call after logging in. But the page keeps saying pudding media is loading. It actually never loads.
Please help. This is the only thing i am missing in linux and only reason i still have to use windows :(:(:(:(
I am using OSS 4.1 and opera web browser and flash version is 9.

Hi Furi0us.Bee,
As has been said AIM 5.9
There is also Trillian that works for Audio only in it's Basic version and does Video for it's $25 Pro version.
Moving away from the AIM based service there are other options.
