Description

I'm testing the wonderful Talk app on my Nextcloud 14. When I want to Talk with a Contact, I hit 3 limits:

  • My Contacts appear in the sort Contact list, with the "Call by phone" and the "Send an email" buttons, but the Talk button is missing
  • If I start a new Chat, I can enter any email, but my Contacts don't show up in the list of Participants
  • I can't start a new Chat from a Contact VCard.

Any of those solutions would be GREAT!

  • starting to Talk from a VCard
  • starting a new Talk and entering a Contact's name
  • or have the Talk button from the small Contact selector (last-minus-1 button in Task bar)

... or of course the 3 of these solutions would be beyond perfect...

Thank you for your time and for this great app!
