- Works with desktop Google Talk client, not iGoogle yet
- This may change once parts of Gabble's Jingle code have been migrated to Wocky, and Salut ported to Wocky.
- Audio/Video chat no longer works in MSN due to Microsoft removing the necessary servers.
- Non Applicable, this feature don't exist in this protocol
Methods of being invisible on Jabber
Gabble supports:
Google Talk's shared status extension;
the pre-XMPP <presence type='invisible'/> extension.
This should mean, in practice, that Gabble supports being invisible on any Jabber server where it's possible to be invisible. (This, notably, does not include Facebook.)
