h2. Common issues

h3. I use a Google Apps account and I can't connect with BEEM !!! 

The Gtalk server use a non standard authentication scheme : they don't use the user part of the jid to authenticate but instead they use the full jid.
Starting to Beem-0.1.5 version, you can use an option in the advanced preferences to use the full jid to authenticate.
For previous version, if the domain part of your JID is not gmail.com or googlemail.com you have to enter in BEEM a jid in this form : user@example.com@example.com
