## Frequently Asked Questions

See also the [[Empathy FAQ|http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/FAQ]] 


### Do telepathy and empathy support voice calls between more than 2 people at the same time using jingle?

Not yet, but there is work going on to support it. See [[Muji|http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Muji]] 


### How can I get the logs for Telepathy applications?

See the [[Empathy debugging page|http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/Debugging]] on live.gnome 


### Is File Transfer compatible with the GTalk desktop client?

Not yet, but there is work going on to support their dialect of Jingle file transfers. 


### Does Telepathy support audio and video chat with the GTalk web client (the one embedded in Gmail)?

Audio works, as does video if you install H.264 codecs. 


### Does empathy support end to end encryption?

Implementation of end to end encryption is in progress. The plan is to implement [[XEP-0246|http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0246.html]] ([[current API sketch|http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/telepathy/2009-October/003936.html]]). 


### Where can I find documentation on how to develop with Telepathy?

The [[Telepathy Developer Manual|http://people.collabora.co.uk/~davyd/telepathy-book/]] which is still a WIP. It is also useful to always have the [[Telepathy Specification|http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/spec/]] under the hand as a reference. 


### Does Telepathy work on Windows?

Not really, but people are working on it ([[Telepathy On Windows|http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Windows]]). 


### TelepathyQt4 isn't working; I get errors like “QDBusPendingReply: type Tp::UIntList is not registered with QtDBus”

Make sure you've called `Tp::registerTypes()` from your `main()` function (or at least before you call any [[TelepathyQt4|TelepathyQt4]] methods).
