Google Talk apparently supports a slightly different form of MUCs...[1] includes a more thorough discussion.

The room name has to be of the form: "private-chat-<uuid>", and the server is groupchat.google.com.

Of course we can't actually force these / do it automatically since you can join MUCS from a federated network via GTalk (such as ones on conference.jabber.org).

I got invited to join a MUC and the error console had the following message:

Timestamp: 11/1/2012 9:45:59 AM
Error: Trying to create a conversation; buddy not present: private-chat-afed1703-846f-4aa0-99fb-ae307b5fbg94@groupchat.google.com
Source Code:
xmpp

(Note I changed random characters in the UUID.)

The other fun bit is that all the users are random sets of characters (except me, I actually set my display name). Besides that it all seems to work OK. The voice / founder flags are randomly being displayed, but that's probably GTalk doing weird things.

Also, we don't seem to show when users join or quit? (No system messages...)

A similar Pidgin ticket that has some interesting information: https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/14664
So I just checked this out again and I can't seem to get gmail to send me an invite, I get system messages: "foo's client doesn't support chats" or something. If someone can figure out a way to invite an XMPP client, let me know.
Not sure if these MUCs still exist, but we should check.

I suspect the answer is "no" because hangouts, but I could do a quick experiment, if you'd like.

We get no notification of this over XMPP anymore.
