In that case XMPP is what you need

For IM nothing can possibly beat **ricochet**. Ricochet FTW!!

Tox is the best alternative, it´s right what you need. you can chat through  
it and do videocalls (or only voice too) and it´s for most operating  
systems. Although form IM I personally recommend Kontalk (based on XMPP and  
OpenPGP), but is just for android and you cannot make groups or calls.

the good thing about both is their security

seems like jitsi is logically what i was looking for. it uses the same  
backend tech as google hangouts.

Thanks for all of the great suggestions.

I recommend Ring also!

They are the first to have interest in presenting it to a free
software-focused event (in this case, it was LibrePlanet 2016):

... By this I guess they do understand the difference between open
source, and free software (although, last time I checked, Ring's entry
on the Free Software Directory must yet be reviewed (and I'm trying to
help with this one too, as I also do occasional reviews when I have time
to)), see:

Jingle (video chat over XMPP) can do that. I think Jitsi Meet (which uses  
WebRTC IIRC) can do that, too.

Possibly https://ring.cx/

No first hand experience though but would seem to fit the bill.

Linphone and Jitsi both work well, although the xmpp servers at jit.si are no  
longer available.
