NAME

jitsi - the Java VoIP and Instant Messaging client

SYNOPSIS

jitsi [options] [uri-to-call]

DESCRIPTION

Jitsi is an audio/video Internet phone and instant messenger that supports some of the most popular instant messaging and telephony protocols such as SIP, Jabber, AIM/ICQ, MSN, Yahoo! Messenger, Bonjour, IRC and soon others like IAX.

An optional uri-to-call expression can be specified to start a call from the command-line. If Jitsi is already running then the call is handled by the running application, except when it is explicitly told to allow multiple instance launch.
