Create an account for one of the supported messaging services.

# Register a new account

Most account types require you to create an account with a service provider before you can use that account with instant messaging applications. You can use Empathy to register for a new account with some account providers using the same steps as you would to add an account.

Once you create a new account, your account provider should give you a login or a username and a password, as well as any additional information you need to connect using Empathy.

# IRC

IRC networks require that you specify a nick (nickname) when you connect to the server. Some IRC networks use a service, such as NickServ, to allow users to protect their nick. If you did not register your nick or are unable to do so and another user is using it, then you will need to choose a different one.

Nekateri strežniki IRC so zaščiteni z geslom. Za povezavo s temi strežniki boste morali poznati geslo. V splošnem so to zasebna omrežja IRC.

Many GNOME projects use `irc.gnome.org` for project-related discussion.

# Facebook

Facebook is one of the more popular social networks. It allows users to create their own profile and to communicate with their friends.

To use Facebook to communicate with your friends, you will need to create a new account from the website: www.facebook.com.

# Jabber

Jabber je odprt sistem takojšnjega sporočanja. Tako kot elektronska pošta, vam Jabber omogoča izbiro vašega ponudnika računa in sporočanje z vsemi drugimi uporabniki Jabber ne glede na njihovega ponudnika računa.

You will need to create a new account with a Jabber provider. There are many free providers; one popular provider is jabber.org.

If you use Gmail or Google+ Hangouts, you already have a Jabber account. Use your Gmail address and password in Empathy to connect.

# Ljudje v bližini

This service works whenever you are connected to a local network, such as a wireless hotspot, you do not need to create an account with service providor, just set up your account through Empathy. It automatically finds all other users on the network who are also using this service.

For more information, see the salut protocol.

# SIP

SIP je odprt sistem, ki uporabnikom omogoča zvočne in video pogovore preko medmrežja. S ponudnikom SIP morate ustvariti račun. Sporazumevate se lahko z vsemi drugimi uporabniki SIP, ne glede na to katerega ponudnika SIP uporabljajo.

Nekateri podnudniki SIP vam z vašega računalnika omogočajo klic na običajne telefone. V splošnem se morate za uporabo te zmožnosti naroči na plačljivo storitev.
