Gtalk Group Chats

Post by getalife03 »

I can't find this topic in the searches, but does Adium support Gtalk group chats? Everytime someone invites me to a group chat on gtalk through adium it sends me a web link and opens the official gtalk client. Is there any way to enable this support through adium so I can just use adium on the group chats?

At the moment not even Google's stand-alone client for windows supports group chats, it opens the web based version just like Adium does.
But since Google is using just a slightly modified version of the official jabber multi user chat protocol, there's hope they will publish their modifications so developers of alternative clients like Adium are able to implement it.

But to answer your question: there's currently no way to join Google Talk group chats without switching to the browser window.
