IRC Channels

Haiku has chat channels in various languages, allowing realtime discussion with other Haiku developers and users.

Connection instructions

If you are running Haiku, the Vision IRC client is provided and can be used to join the IRC channels. Some language specific channels are on Telegram instead, which can also be installed in Haiku. Clients for both are also available for most other operating systems. Our official discussion rooms also support other open communication protocols, such as XMPP, BeShare and Matrix.
