Simple two-way communication

[lammel-hub]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently there is no function for the parties to communicate, instead the online Quick Start documentation refers to” Typically, the assistant is communicating with the assisted using Skype, the phone, their favorite IM, or whatever tool they like. Then starting Dayon! allows for watching live the assisted computer screen.”

Describe the solution you'd like Something that gathers all functionality in one place to make it simpler for the assisted, but also the assistant. Issues to avoid:

1. Using the phone may be expensive in some use cases
2. There may be a capacity/technical problem to run a parallel comms app on the computer that is assisted
3. It does not require a functioning sound card or sound transfer between computers

(Opening a notepad-app on assisted side and using it to write messages to each other would be a workaround, but it takes up screen space and is relatively ineffective)

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Solution 1 – Function: Start Jitsi Meet (point to external app)
• Solution 2 – Function: Pass a note (send simple text string)
• Solution 3 – Function: Chat (enable text messaging with history)

See attached draft. Dayon-FunctionToCommunicate.2.odt (corrected to version 2 of attached draft)

Additional context If considered for implementation this could be seen as a quick fix or a long-term development effort, depending on which approach is chosen.

updated section on Jitsi Meet, so please refer to this version going forward

I think, I'll go for the first variant by starting a JITSI meeting using the fingerprints. The most straight-forward approach would be to integrate the functionality directly in the fingerprints labels:

Clever!
