Open source video chat from linux to iphone?

maggie · 2013-01-12 17:35:16

I would like to find an open source video chat client that I can run on my Arch laptop that will allow me to video chat with friends running iOS. Is there such a thing? Skype is not open source. Googlechat is not open source.

I think it might be easier to work from the other direction: What iOS applications exist that support text / video / audio chat using the SIP standard?

Hi,

I'm in the same situation. Do you ever found a solution? I only need direct communication, point to point, chatrooms or something are not needed but nice to have.
Skype is not a solution neither is Google Hangouts.

I came across Mumble. I thought at first you can create channels for yourself on public servers but unfortunately not. Most servers won't allow you to create a channel for yourself. So your best bet here is to run your own server (which means additional expenses for me).
Ekiga seems nice but there is no iOS client.

The closest thing so far is Linphone, which has clients for Linux and iOS, but you need a SIP account somewhere.
Any experiences with this?

Thanks for any input.

I remember using something called Talkatone on iOS which could communicate with open source Jabber clients using libjingle. However, only for audio.

Arch Linux
