      I’m not sure you could say that Mumble does text chat. What it has barely qualifies as text chat at all, much less fully-featured text chat. It exists as much to communicate system messages as anything else.

      It’s no where near as well integrated though is it? Unless they have completely revamped the client.

        I’m not sure what you mean by a text chat functionality being more or less integrated? Integrated with what? OP stated that Mumble exclusively does voice chat, which is simply wrong. You can send text messages to users and channels.

          I assume they want a fully rich text channel: Markdown, embedded images/audio, reactions, code blocks, URL previews, etc.

          They won’t be happy returning to a text channel which is just text.

                Why would it? How am I sending text messages to multiple users and channels daily, if Mumble doesn’t do text chat? Please explain to me what kind of black magic I am channeling.

                  Because every modern chat application allows for more than text chat. Sure the name is ‘text chat’ so you can take that literally and say “if it allows you to send text its text chat”. Its like a phone, if I say here is a phone and hand someone a landline they’re gonna be like wtf.

                  I see this all the time with IRC, people will say lets move to IRC and the discord users will use irc for 5 mins and say its shit because its missing every single basic feature let alone the ones that actually make a platform enticing.
