3CX lands V20 Update 9 — redesigned web client and AI assistants in the PBX
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Jitsi Meet and Bizzabo — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Jitsi Meet ships near-monthly tags from GitHub — open-source WebRTC on rails, no public marketing layer.
Jitsi Meet's release stream is a steady drumbeat of GitHub release tags — roughly monthly, with version numbers like 1.0.9139, 1.0.9008, 1.0.8979 and so on. The crawler captured the GitHub release page chrome and 'Sorry, something went wrong' UI errors rather than release notes themselves; substantive change-detail lives in the project's commit history. The cadence and fork/star counts (7.9k forks, 29k stars) tell the real story: a heavily relied-on open-source WebRTC stack maintained by 8x8.
Bizzy AI goes platform-wide as Bizzabo's attendee copilot graduates to every event
Bizzabo is an enterprise event-management platform. Its feed is mostly SEO/education content on sponsorship, lead capture, and platform comparisons, but the most recent entry is a genuine product move: its Bizzy AI attendee copilot is now available for every event, not just select programs.

Jitsi Meet remains the default 'self-hostable Zoom' for organizations that need video conferencing without sending traffic through SaaS. Recent activity stays concentrated on the 1.0.x line for jitsi-meet plus matching 2.0.x docker-jitsi-meet bundles. Direction is set by 8x8's enterprise priorities and community contributions, not by user-facing positioning shifts.
Expect continued monthly tag cadence and gradual platform modernization (newer Jicofo/JVB versions, codec updates, AV1 expansion). The interesting watch is whether 8x8 lands AI-meeting-assistant features upstream into Jitsi Meet or keeps them in its commercial offering.
Bizzabo is an enterprise event-management platform. Its feed is mostly SEO/education content on sponsorship, lead capture, and platform comparisons, but the most recent entry is a genuine product move: its Bizzy AI attendee copilot is now available for every event, not just select programs.
Bizzabo is threading AI through the attendee experience — session recommendations, logistical Q&A, and engagement data — while its content arm pushes the sponsorship-ROI and lead-capture-to-pipeline story to enterprise buyers. The platform is converging on AI-assisted events plus measurable revenue attribution.
Expect Bizzy AI to expand from attendee-facing help into organizer-side workflows (analytics, recommendations, sponsor matching), and for the blog to keep tying events to pipeline.
