create a poll (text chat)

It would be great if you were able to create a poll.

example: https://youtu.be/JkwUSyW0ipo?t=39 and https://youtu.be/ZFUjDiYc0gQ?t=72

(all supported operating systems)

Hi and thank you for the feedback.

This possibility would be indeed really great and appreciated.

I've just added that ticket here: https://git.jami.net/savoirfairelinux/ring-project/wikis/technical/4.3.-Features-requests to track this kind of request.

To implement this, a plugin would be ideal. However this needs at least two big changes:

• Plugins should be able to show buttons in the chatview
• Swarm. Because poll are a great idea, but useless today, because we only support 1 to 1 chat.

So, I added the ticket into the features request list and into the contributions propositions list if any contributor want to work on it, and forwarded to the person who manages the roadmap. However, we don't plan to work on this any time soon so I close this, because this will take months or years to come.

Have a nice day and thank you

Thanks for your reply. May I ask why is it not possible to support multi-person chats (regular version of Jami)? Because you can make audio and video calls with multiple people.

Sure, multi-person chat is a feature in progress that we call swarm and that will change a lot of thing in Jami.

For more informations I recommend this link: https://jami.net/swarm-introducing-a-new-generation-of-group-conversations/

It's currently in alpha and soon in public beta. A news will come in the following weeks about this. So it's possible, it's just not there yet.

I thought "Swarm" is a separate program and will be different than the regular Jami (desktop) version. (https://github.com/AmarOk1412/jami-cli/ Missing features but wanted: Calls) So in the future there's only one program/app (for all operating systems) that includes "Swarm"?

Will it possible to quote message of other users? https://git.jami.net/savoirfairelinux/ring-project/-/issues/723

jami-cli is a Jami client but in terminals and not maintained by the team, it,s just a personal project. But desktop client will support swarm and no it's not a different version.

Quote will probably come but it's not in our priorities

Ok. Thanks a lot for your answers and the interesting news about Jami.

you're welcome, I know we can have some delay to answer.

Jitsi Meet also support Polls.

However, seems that it would be better if the Chat and Polls were separate.

Thank you
