Velocity5.0

Desktop client for Nextcloud Talk chat and video calls

nextcloud.com/talk ↗

Nextcloud Talk Desktop 2.3.4 logs in through the browser, opening the door to SSO.

◆Current state
Nextcloud Talk Desktop v2.3.4 bundles Talk v25.0.7 and switches login to the web browser, so SSO and other browser-based sign-in methods work. It adds a skipUpdateCheck setting that admins can push through Windows policies or macOS user defaults, enforces an ASAR integrity check, disables unneeded Electron fuses and signs the Windows DLLs and launcher. It also fixes launch-at-startup sync and a secondary-window crash.
◆Where it's heading
After the Talk v25 move and accessibility polish, the client is turning toward enterprise deployment: browser login for SSO, admin-managed update behaviour building on July's managed configuration, and hardening of the Electron package. The cadence stays roughly monthly, each release tracking a Talk patch.
◆Prediction
Expect more settings exposed through managed configuration and further Electron hardening, following the Talk v25 patch line.

    Talk Desktop 2.3.4: browser login for SSO, signed Windows files

    Moving login to the browser lets SSO setups use the desktop client, and skipUpdateCheck via managed configuration gives admins control over updates. Electron fuse and ASAR integrity changes harden the package.

    Talk Desktop 2.3.3: accessibility options, smaller app, Talk 25.0.6

    After the Talk v25 stable release, this build turns to polish: high-contrast and dyslexia-font options, a remembered window position and a persistent beta channel choice, plus a smaller app. Moving Talk to an npm dependency should make future server bumps faster.

    Nextcloud Talk Desktop 2.3.2: Talk v25 stable + E2EE call fix

    The v2.3.2 stable release brings Talk v25.0.0 to all users and closes several reliability gaps: E2EE calls with no audio/video (a complete regression for encrypted calls), Windows ARM64 crashes, Linux tray icon absence, and Flatpak drag-and-drop failures. The Electron 44.3.0 update and media list pagination add platform currency and a UX improvement for browsing large attachment galleries.
