MIMO Video

Overview

MIMO Video provides secure, encrypted peer-to-peer video calling with complete privacy. No data is stored on servers, and all communications use end-to-end encryption through WebRTC technology.

End-to-End Encryption

All video calls are encrypted using WebRTC's built-in security protocols, ensuring your conversations remain private.

No Registration Required

Start video calls instantly without creating accounts or providing personal information.

No Server Storage

Video data is transmitted directly between participants - nothing is stored on our servers.

Easy Sharing

Share room codes or links to invite others to your video calls.

Getting Started with Video Calls

1

Access MIMO Video

Visit the MIMO Video page or click the video button in the messenger interface.

2

Grant Permissions

Allow camera and microphone access when prompted by your browser.

3

Create or Join Room

Either create a new room or enter an existing room code to join a call.

4

  • Ensure no other applications are using your camera/microphone
  • Try refreshing the page and granting permissions again
  • Check your device's privacy settings
Poor video quality or connection issues
  • Check your internet connection speed
  • Close other bandwidth-intensive applications
  • Try turning off your camera to improve audio quality
  • Move closer to your WiFi router
Cannot join room with code
  • Verify the room code is correct
  • Check if the room is still active
  • Ensure you're using a supported browser
  • Try creating a new room if the issue persists

MIMO Messenger

Overview

MIMO Messenger is a secure messaging platform built on the XRPL (XRP Ledger) testnet. It uses blockchain transaction memos to send encrypted messages, providing a unique approach to decentralized communication.

Blockchain-Based

Messages are stored as transaction memos on the XRPL testnet, ensuring decentralized communication.

Secure Messaging

All messages are encrypted and transmitted through the secure XRPL network.

Testnet Only

Uses XRPL testnet for safe experimentation without real financial transactions.

Contact Management

Save and manage contacts with custom nicknames for easy identification.

Beta Version: MIMO Messenger is currently in beta. This is a demonstration of XRPL messaging capabilities using testnet only.

Account Setup

To use MIMO Messenger, you need an XRPL testnet account. You can either create a new account or connect an existing one.

Creating a New Account

1

Click Menu Button

Click the "Menu" button in the top-right corner of the messenger interface.

2

Choose "Create New"

Select the "Create New" tab in the account modal.

3

Enter Wallet Name

Provide a name for your wallet (for your reference only).

4

Create Account

Click "Create New XRPL Account" to generate your testnet account.

Using an Existing Account

1

Choose "Use Existing"

Select the "Use Existing" tab in the account modal.

2

Enter Credentials

Provide your XRPL account address (r...) and secret key (s...).

3

Set Wallet Name

Enter a name for your wallet for easy identification.

4

Connect

Click "Connect" to link your existing account.

Security Notice: This is a testnet application only. Never use real XRPL mainnet credentials or share your secret keys.

Getting Testnet XRP

After creating your account, you'll need testnet XRP to send messages:

Sending Messages

Starting a New Conversation

1

Click New Message

Click the "New Message" button (pen icon) in the header.

2

Enter Recipient

Enter the recipient's XRPL address (starts with 'r').

3

Type Message

Enter your message (up to 500 characters).

4

Send

Click "Send" to transmit your message via XRPL transaction.

Managing Conversations

Message Delivery: Messages are sent as XRPL transactions and may take a few seconds to appear. Each message costs a small amount of testnet XRP.

Messenger Troubleshooting

Cannot create or connect account
  • Check your internet connection
  • Ensure you're using a modern browser with JavaScript enabled
  • Try refreshing the page and attempting again
  • Verify your XRPL credentials if using an existing account
Messages not sending or receiving
  • Check your XRP balance - you need testnet XRP to send messages
  • Verify the recipient's XRPL address is correct
  • Wait a few moments for XRPL network confirmation
  • Try refreshing the page to reload conversations
Low or zero XRP balance
  • Click "Get Free Testnet XRP" in the account menu
  • Wait for the funding transaction to complete
  • Click "Refresh Balance" to update your balance display
  • Remember: 10 XRP is reserved and cannot be spent

Security & Privacy

How MIMO Protects Your Privacy

No Data Collection

MIMO doesn't collect, store, or analyze your personal data or communications.

No Central Servers

Video calls use peer-to-peer connections. Messages use the decentralized XRPL network.

Local Storage Only

Your account information is stored locally in your browser, not on our servers.

End-to-End Encryption

All communications are encrypted from sender to receiver.

Security Best Practices

Open Source: MIMO's code is transparent and can be audited for security. We believe in privacy through transparency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is MIMO free to use?

Yes, MIMO is completely free. Video calling requires no payment, and messaging uses free testnet XRP which has no real-world value.

Do I need to create an account?

Video calling requires no account. For messaging, you need an XRPL testnet account, which you can create instantly within the app.

What browsers are supported?

MIMO works best with modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. WebRTC support is required for video calling.

Can I use MIMO on mobile devices?

Yes, MIMO is responsive and works on mobile browsers. For the best experience, use the latest version of your mobile browser.

What is XRPL and why is it used?

XRPL (XRP Ledger) is a decentralized blockchain. MIMO uses it to demonstrate how blockchain technology can enable secure, decentralized messaging without central servers.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Video calls use encrypted peer-to-peer connections. Messages are encrypted and stored on the decentralized XRPL network. We don't store any of your data on our servers.
