What both publish
| Fact | Mumble | Taverns |
|---|---|---|
| Encryption | Mumble states that communication is always encrypted and public/private-key authentication is used by default. | Voice, video, and screen sharing calls are end-to-end encrypted, except when a voice hall streams to or from a third party that does not support end-to-end encryption. |
| Integrations | Server functionality can be extended through Ice protocols, including web interfaces, authenticators, custom chat commands, and context-menu entries. | The privacy policy names Twitch, YouTube, and Spotify as examples of external accounts users may connect, and says bot developers can receive data allowed by bot permissions. |
| Mobile availability | The iOS app is marked unmaintained, with its last update in 2017; the listed Android clients are third-party apps that Mumble does not control or maintain. | Free native apps are offered for iPhone and iPad through the App Store and for Android through Google Play. |
