#### Team chat for universities: channels, direct messages, threads and files

Univerdia Chat is the messaging app for the staff and students of your institution. Every course, department and club gets its own channel, and every conversation stays in one place: on your desktop, in the browser and on your phone.

**Talk the way a campus does**

* Public and private channels for courses, departments, clubs and announcements
* Direct messages, one to one or in a small group
* Threads, so a question gets its answers without burying the channel
* Reactions, @mentions, typing indicators and who is online
* Formatting with bold, italic, lists, links and code blocks
* Files and images in any conversation, with a files panel to find them again
* Edit a message after sending it, or set a reminder to come back to it later
* Desktop notifications with an optional sound
* Light, dark, or follow your system

**Built for your institution**

* Sign in with your institution's Google account, or with the email and password from an invitation
* No public sign-up: accounts belong to your institution
* Administrators invite people, manage roles and bots, and review an audit log
* One app for several organisations: add each server you belong to and switch between them

Univerdia Chat needs an account at an institution that uses it. Learn more at <https://univerdia.com/products/chat>

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install Univerdia Chat

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
