.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm Jitsi
is a VoIP, videoconferencing and instant messaging application available in a variety of operating systems. It supports several protocols including SIP and SIMPLE, XMPP and Jingle, MSNP, YMSG, and OSCAR. These protocols are used by major communication services/networks (Google Talk, Facebook Chat, MSN, Yahoo! Messenger, AIM, ICQ). Voice and video calls can be done using SIP and XMPP, file transfers with XMPP, MSNP, YMSG, and OSCAR, and instant messaging with SIP (no multi-user chats), XMPP, MSNP, YMSG, and OSCAR.
