For those interested to contribute to the new group chat (swarm chat) feature:

I’m assuming that by “direct calling” you mean calling a landland phone number. For exemple 123.456.7890 Then the answer is yes you’re able to do this with Jami SIP feature.

If you’re not familiar with SIP with Jami, in summary it’s two steps:

  1. Step 1: Get an SIP account at any supplier to your liking. Average cost ranges from USD $5 to $50 monthly. For exemple at:
  2. Step 2: Create a free Jami SIP account. Then using Jami, connect it with your SIP supplier. Steps:
    1. Go to your Jami account settings:

      1. On GNU/Linux and Windows, click the gear at the top right corner of your Jami interface and click the Account tab.

      2. On OS X, click Jami on the main menu of your Mac, and then click Preferences and the Account tab.

    2. Add a SIP account

    3. Under the list of your accounts, click on the arrow to the right of the Jami button, select SIP and click on the + sign

    4. Enter your SIP settings

    5. In the General tab, fill in the fields associated with the address of your server (IP address), your username (extension) and your password.

With a SIP account, security is not guaranteed by default. It depends on the SIP servers used. In order for your data to be encrypted, you must enter the security information associated with your SIP account. Indicate them in the Security sub-tab. During your exchanges, your correspondent must also have the same security options for them to be applied.

Another supplier of SIP account is VoIP.ms

VoIP.ms offre un services SIP à partir de 1$ CAD mensuel à https://voip.ms. Documentation groupé par téléphone logiciel (softphone) avec lien vers sous-page pour la configuration à https://wiki.voip.ms/article/Softphones

VoIP.ms est mon fournisseur préféré pour SIP. Leur serveurs SIP sont stables, rapides, sécures. L’interface d’administration en ligne et très bien fait.

Comme Jami, VoIP.ms est une organisation du Québec. Le siège social de VoIP.ms est situé à Montréal, Canada. Alors tu es protégé par les lois fortes du Canada à propos de la vie privé.

Limitation

  • Je ne suis pas affilié avec VoIP.ms. Je suis très satisfait avec leurs produits & services.
  • Ci-haut sont des suggestions de moi en tant que volontaire utilisateur de Jami
  • Mes opinions ci-haut sont de moi personnellement. Par d’une entreprise.

IIRC the backend of the Swarm group chat functionality landed a year ago or so, but the UI is still missing. We haven’t really heard anything new about it, recently.

Actually it’s available in most of the clients
General->Enable experimental support for groups.

On the desktop client it will be the default in next version.
