Red5's autumn run: spec-compliant AMF codecs amid a stream of thinly documented patches.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Airmeet and Jitsi — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Airmeet rebundles as Airmeet Suite, with AI content from events as its clearest feature.
Airmeet's feed is sparse and duplicated. The clearest recent feature is AirGenie, which generates summaries, blog posts, social posts and analytics insights from events. October brought an Airmeet Suite announcement with no detail, after the 2025 decision to stop supporting virtual event participation in the mobile apps.
Jitsi caps free meet.jit.si calls at 95 minutes and spreads meetings across screens
Jitsi's recent posts pair product work with a change to its free public service. Meetings on meet.jit.si are now limited to 95 minutes, with more changes announced but not described. On the software side, Jitsi Meet gains multi-screen support, following Document Picture-in-Picture, backend tracing and a rebuilt transcription architecture over the summer.

Airmeet appears to be repackaging its platform as a suite and leaning on AI to turn events into reusable content. The feed gives too little detail to tell what the suite changes.
It is unclear from the entries what Airmeet Suite contains; the next digest should show whether it bundles new products or renames existing ones.
Jitsi's recent posts pair product work with a change to its free public service. Meetings on meet.jit.si are now limited to 95 minutes, with more changes announced but not described. On the software side, Jitsi Meet gains multi-screen support, following Document Picture-in-Picture, backend tracing and a rebuilt transcription architecture over the summer.
Two tracks are diverging: the open-source stack keeps adding capability for rooms and multi-display setups, while the hosted meet.jit.si is being constrained. The 'more changes are coming' line signals that the free tier is being reshaped.
Further restrictions or account requirements on meet.jit.si are the most likely next announcement; the feed does not say what form they take.
