What is Muvi?

Muvi buries its product announcements in a stream of streaming-industry explainers

Muvi's feed is mostly search-targeted content for streaming operators — access control for corporate broadcasts, DRM for live streams, church livestreaming setups, AI content filtering — with occasional real announcements mixed in under the same format. AI SafeWatch, which lets viewers skip sensitive scenes, is the current example: an actual capability announced in a body that looks identical to the explainers around it. Bodies are single-paragraph summaries ending in a Continue reading marker.

What is 3CX?

3CX sets the end of 2026 to switch off its own transcription service.

3CX is closing its bundled AI services and moving customers to AI they run or connect themselves. On November 13 it confirmed its transcription service switches off at the end of 2026, with ENT+ subscriptions moving to AI Edition. V20 Update 10 fills in the replacement: Grok support, MCP, improved AI agents and local transcription on a Mac, plus simpler audio conferencing, a pop-out dialer and delegated call recording review.

Muvi buries its product announcements in a stream of streaming-industry explainers

◆ Current state

Muvi's feed is mostly search-targeted content for streaming operators — access control for corporate broadcasts, DRM for live streams, church livestreaming setups, AI content filtering — with occasional real announcements mixed in under the same format. AI SafeWatch, which lets viewers skip sensitive scenes, is the current example: an actual capability announced in a body that looks identical to the explainers around it. Bodies are single-paragraph summaries ending in a Continue reading marker.

◆ Where it's heading

The recurring theme is control over what a viewer can see and do: DRM, domain restrictions, watermarking, device controls, broadcast delay, and now scene-level filtering the viewer chooses rather than the operator enforces. AI SafeWatch is the interesting turn there — every other control in this feed is the operator restricting the audience, while this one hands the choice to the person watching. The vertical content, churches and corporate events, marks where Muvi is selling.

◆ Prediction

Content filtering has now been argued twice and shipped once, so expect SafeWatch's categories to become operator-configurable, since the rest of this product's viewer controls are administered rather than self-serve.

3CX sets the end of 2026 to switch off its own transcription service.

◆ Current state

3CX is closing its bundled AI services and moving customers to AI they run or connect themselves. On November 13 it confirmed its transcription service switches off at the end of 2026, with ENT+ subscriptions moving to AI Edition. V20 Update 10 fills in the replacement: Grok support, MCP, improved AI agents and local transcription on a Mac, plus simpler audio conferencing, a pop-out dialer and delegated call recording review.

◆ Where it's heading

Update 10 widens the choice of AI provider and moves more processing onto hardware customers own, while adding manager controls around recordings. The release is shipping in pieces through how-to posts rather than one changelog.

◆ Prediction

Expect Update 10 to reach general release and more posts on the self-hosted AI Server ahead of the January 2027 licence conversion.
