The week in video-conferencing

The lead is 3CX changing its AI posture: it will retire its own cloud transcription and convert remaining ENT+ licences to an AI Edition in January 2027. Customers are being pushed toward AI they bring themselves.

Around it, the real-time communications stack shipped foundations: a new Asterisk major branch, SIP and media fixes, and a streaming server raising its Java floor.

Leaders

3CX will end its legacy cloud transcription, including free voicemail transcription in PRO, and convert ENT+ to AI Edition in January 2027. It also described V20 Update 10 changes that reduce the steps to start an audio conference.

Asterisk released 24.0.0 final after four release candidates, with 43 commits and 32 resolved issues, and the 20, 22 and 23 branches received matching releases the same round.

Restream listed itself in the Claude Connectors Directory so users can schedule streams, change destinations, read analytics and create clips from a chat window. It also added attended and missed splits to webinar analytics.

Bizzabo made Sponsor ROI generally available, matching sponsors with attendees by ideal customer profile, and previewed an agentic operating system for events at IMEX America.

Red5 released 2.2.0 requiring JDK 25 as the minimum, and 2.0.49 with spec-compliant AMF0 and AMF3 codecs.

Wildcards

HOMER fixed damage to SIP-I binary bodies in 11.0.376, added ISUP decoding to the message view, and restored tshark decoding in 11.0.377. A data-loss fix for telecom interworking is a long way from the AI storyline.

Themes that compounded

  • Customer-chosen AI at 3CX and chat-driven control at Restream.
  • A coordinated release round at Asterisk.
  • Protocol correctness fixes at Red5 and HOMER.
  • Runtime requirement bumps at Red5.

Watch this week

3CX has framed Update 10 through feature explainers, so a general release is the next thing to watch. Operators on Asterisk 23 and earlier should check the shared release notes, and Red5 users need to plan the JDK 25 move.
