MEETINGS
Velocity5.0

Self-hosted video calls, screen sharing, and chat platform integrated with Nextcloud collaboration suite.

Nextcloud Talk v23.0.14 fixes Firefox video and keeps v25 waiting at RC3.

◆Current state
Nextcloud Talk keeps patching its supported branches. On November 5 four branches shipped together with share-permission fixes and password protection for instant meetings; on November 12 v23.0.14 added an option for external call services to set the participant list and fixed a Firefox simulcast race and read-marker checks. The v25 line has not moved past RC3 since September 10.
◆Where it's heading
Effort is going into security fixes across every supported branch rather than into shipping v25. The two-month gap since RC3 is the main open question in this feed.
◆Prediction
Expect further backported fixes across v20 to v23; whether v25.0.0 ships soon is unclear from the entries.
