Facebook Chat On Google Talk

Do you have a habit of chatting with your friends till long ? Do you feel that the facebook sidebar widget is pathetic and creates problems while chatting? Today I am going to guide you on how to do facebook chat on Google talk.


Personally, I don’t like facebook chat and it has become even worse after their sidebar gadget update. More over if you are chatting with one of your friend on gtalk and other on facebook then it is quiet inconvenient to switch between the two.


So, Now here is an easy solution for the above probem. With a small hack it is possible to integrate facebook chat on google talk.

So here we go..


  • Install PSI IM on your machine (http://psi-im.org/download)

  • Once your Google Account is added into your PSI Client, right-click on your Google Account and select the option that says "Service Discovery".
  • Enter jabme.de in the address field and hit enter. A list of available services will be populated.
  • Select "JabMe XMPP Transport" and right-click it and select Register.
  • In Jabber ID field enter like this “yourusername@chat.facebook.com” .For Example in my case it was something like geekrevealed@chat.facebook.com and enter your Facebook password. Find your Facebook user name. Select language of your choice and click Register.
  • Add and authorize everything and you are done.
!! Happy Chatting !!
