I'm not on cellular, only wifi.
On the jami.net website it says "All communications are peer-to-peer and end-to-end encrypted.". But if there is a lag, then the messages are stored somewhere. Where are they stored? And why does it say peer-to-peer if there is a middle man?
How can I make a conference call?
Start a video or audio call with a contact. Click on the "Add participant" button. Select the participant to be added to the conference. Your device is now hosting the conference.
I got the answer from the official blog: turn.jami.net is the server provided by the Jami project, and it is the TURN server enabled by Jami by default.
When it is not possible to connect directly, a TURN transfer is required.
When communicating via TURN, the chat partner does not know your IP.
Currently Jami does not provide the function of compulsory use of TURN, which also violates the principle of distributed design. Jami rejects the relay structure.
Hi, I don't know if I'm late or not. But I also got no one to talk too and want to try Jami.
Contact me using 'Redwine' on the Jami distributed communication platform: https://jami.net
I promise you I will reply, we can talk about anything lol

>You can now make audio and video calls with multiple people on Jami. This feature has been available on GNU/Linux for a while, but it is now functional on all platforms. You will notice a new button during your calls that allows you to easily add new participants. Because Jami doesn’t rely on servers, the conference is hosted by the device of the person who initiates it. It mixes the audio and video feed from all participant and sends it back to them so everyone can see and hear each other. For this reason, the maximum number of participants depends on the hosting device’s computing power and available bandwidth. We have tested with up to sixteen members but it could potentially go higher.
Sorry I didn't read your post, but have you tried this option? https://jami.net/download-jami-linux/#open-modal-linux-mint-19-64-bit
the main site does not mention what jami is.
'share, freely and privately.'
what about mentioning what it does. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jami_(software) has more details than your own website.
below you have images with some strange animation but no further details. I.e. conferences, would love to know how many people can be in a conference, if there are moderation options. breakout rooms etc or if you use conference more for a group chat of 4 people. or Messaging, how does it compare to irc/signal/matrix/mattermost
you have many broken links on the site. i.e. the footer has Customization -> https://jami.net/business-customization/ - Oops!
Don't know how you install it, but with the official packages from https://jami.net "jami" start jami.
​
On very very old versions (during the name transition), "ring" was the name. But as I say, it's some very old versions
Thank you for the explanation. I just noticed the arch package is flagged as out-of-date... well, hopefully someday there will be an official linux package for non-deb/rpm distros :) I'll try what you suggest, thanks again.
Hi, Thanks for this question.
First, it is very unlikely that the Ethereum blockchain will suddenly stop working, as it is a distributed system and it would require all its users to stop running it at once. Additionally, the blockchain that is used in Jami is independent of the Ethereum blockchain, even though they share the same code. Furthermore, even if Jami's blockchain stopped working, it would still be possible to use Jami but without the ability to find someone by their username, you'd have to use their Jami ID.
