Feature Request: Split chat and audio functionality #3804

Open wabash1 opened 5 years ago

wabash1 commented 5 years ago

Hello, would it be possible in the future to optionally split the mumble chat and voice functionality via the config to either a separate service entirely such as riot or steam chat, a website link such as the steam chat mobile option, or at the very least offload the murmur chat to another server? I have a low latency server that has a good uptime with a high bandwidth cost that currently handles both the chat and voice and would much rather implement the ability to have all chat go through my low cost/not always stable server especially in regards to images. This would also allow permanent chats that can be scrolled through even when not logged on and potentially also allowing animated images depending on the service. Thank you for your consideration

How would that work technically? The client would connect to two servers/services at the same time and send packages to one or the other?

For now I consider an implementation of that very unlikely. We have other, more important tasks and features with more impact for effort. So I don’t see this happening any time soon.

Somewhat, the main Mumble server would tell the client to connect to the other server for chat only as specified in the config. To be fair I would much rather the ability to embed a webpage or other chat entirely in Mumble because currently Mumble chat is not very robust in its current state with the lack of embedding (video or images) or permanence where if you're not on the chat is gone.

Sry if maybe miss something, I#m new to muble. But I would like to use it as a replacement for Discord; So the split chat and audio would be a great help; so that you can use the text chats for announcement and stuff like that.
