Noch nie so ein schlechtes Programm gesehen, welches die Grundfunktionalitäten welches es bieten sollte nicht bietet. Chatpartner erhalten keine Nachricht, der Client blinkt permanent auf als hätte man eine neue Nachricht erhalten. Der Stream bleibt nicht stabil und verliert immer wieder die Bild Übertragung. Manchmal kann man in Meetings die anderen nicht hören obwohl die anderen Personen einen hören. Die Verbindung wird sehr oft unterbrochen und es gibt keine Anzeichen dafür. Erst wenn man eine Nachricht absenden will, bekommt man die Nachricht "Sorry server connection lost..." Kann dieses Tool nicht empfehlen.

First step are not easy. We need a jabber ID in order to start using it? It is not clear. It seems to me that some instructions are missing for beginners. I registered jabber ID with jabberes.org:5280/register/new. When I log on Pade with my jabber I I get an error of autentification.
