This question asks how to connect to Google Hangouts with Jabber specifically, but I want to un-XY it.

Google has dropped support for XMPP and switched to a proprietary protocol. Is there an existing package or combination of packages that allows Emacs to communicate through this protocol?

  • That API is for video calls, I'm not completely convinced yet that their chat has dropped support for jabber. – Malabarba Jul 05 '15 at 21:30
  • I just tested, and jabber [works fine for me](http://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/13732/50). See if that answer I provided works for you. If so I'll close this as a duplicate. – Malabarba Jul 05 '15 at 22:03
  • Well... XMPP is still available, but not 100% compatible with Hangouts. In addition to Video, group chats with XMPP work differently than group chats with hangouts, and if you have a group hangout you won't be able to use it via an XMPP client. Also when you're chatting using an XMPP client, conversation logs are stored differently. So you *can* use XMPP still if you only ever chat 1:1 or everyone you group chat with is using XMPP clients or has "revert to old chat" set in GMail.
