KDE's Kopete (and after that, the now defunct KDE Telepathy) could that too. Maybe GNOME's Empathy client could that too. I agree all of that was really cool.

I sorely miss those all-in-one messengers completely integrated to the desktop.

In Kopete we even had Latex rendering plugins and auto-away plugins using motion detection :-)

(I started that project decades ago and still grateful to it, as it was the start of my career in tech)

Kopete was amazing. Still the best chat experience I've had to date. Thank you for the fantastic work.
