Kurento vs Zoho Meeting: at a glance
What is Kurento?
Kurento's JavaScript client gets a 7.3.1 point release with no notes.
Kurento is an open-source WebRTC media server, and the only entry in this feed is kurento-client-js 7.3.1, tagged on November 13. The release notes are a single line naming the package and version.
What is Zoho Meeting?
Zoho Meeting ships steady weekly polish — almost all of it tightens the webinar email-notification flow.
Zoho Meeting maintains a weekly cadence of small fixes around webinar registration and notification email.

◆ Current state
Kurento is an open-source WebRTC media server, and the only entry in this feed is kurento-client-js 7.3.1, tagged on November 13. The release notes are a single line naming the package and version.
◆ Where it's heading
With one notes-free client tag on record, the feed shows that the 7.x JavaScript client is still maintained but not what is changing in it.
◆ Prediction
It is unclear from one release what comes next; more tags are needed before a direction is visible.
Zoho Meeting
2.5MEETINGS
Zoho Meeting ships steady weekly polish — almost all of it tightens the webinar email-notification flow.
◆ Current state
Zoho Meeting maintains a weekly cadence of small fixes around webinar registration and notification email. Recent ships: prevent registration on canceled webinars, email registrants when a webinar is rescheduled, auto-send a post-webinar thank-you, notify presenters on new registrations and on analytics readiness, and copy presenters on the meeting-scheduled notification. The notification email templates themselves were redesigned in early March.
◆ Where it's heading
This is mature-product maintenance work — operators get glue around the registration/notification flow they've been asking for, but nothing here suggests a strategic move. Whether Zoho Meeting is also investing in AI transcription, scheduling, or noise cancellation isn't visible from this changelog.
◆ Prediction
Expect more of the same: weekly notification and form-flow polish, plus eventual webinar-recording/transcription parity work as competitors raise the floor. No category-shifting move is signaled here.
