 As showed above, there is also special configuration variable in `[service]` section called `protocol` which decides which Libpurple's protocol will be used:
 Protocol variable| Description
 -----------------|------------
 prpl-jabber| Jabber
 prpl-aim|AIM
 prpl-icq|ICQ
 prpl-msn|MSN
 prpl-yahoo|Yahoo
 prpl-gg|Gadu Gadu
 prpl-novell|Groupwise
 ### Third-party plugins
 Spectrum 2 should work with any third-party libpurple plugin which is properly installed. For example, popular plugins:
 Protocol variable| website | Description
 -----------------|------------
 prpl-facebook| [https://github.com/jgeboski/purple-facebook](https://github.com/jgeboski/purple-facebook) | Facebook
 prpl-telegram| [https://github.com/majn/telegram-purple](https://github.com/majn/telegram-purple) | Telegram
 prpl-skypeweb| [https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin/tree/master/skypeweb](https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin/tree/master/skypeweb) | Skype
 These plugins are included by default in our Docker image.
 ### Support for Facebook stickers
 Facebook stickers are supported using [Web Storage](../configuration/web_storage.html).
 ### Setting libpurple plugins configurations
 Some libpurple protocol plugins allow setting configuration variables. Spectrum 2 passes every variable set in `purple` section to libpurple library. If you need to set such options, you can do it for example like this in your configuration file:
 	[purple]
 	clientlogin=1
 	ssl=0
 ### Notes on Facebook support
 - It may be a good idea to [set up an application password](https://www.facebook.com/help/249378535085386/) instead of using your real credentials, for security alerts (and facebook paranoid security alerts) reasons.
 - Facebook stickers are supported using [Web Storage](../configuration/web_storage.html).
 - Messages aren't marked as read until you reply, and sometimes own messages aren't either, so you should set `show-unread=0` (see section above) if you want to avoid receiving duplicates
 - Group chats aren't joined automatically. To join a group chat, get its ID through [Facebook messenger's web interface](https://www.messenger.com) and join it as a `GROUP_CHAT_ID@your_facebook_transport.yourdomain.yourtld`
