SRS vs WebinarGeek: at a glance
What is SRS?
SRS opens a 7.0 line built on a Go proxy tier, and drops features it no longer wants to carry.
SRS shipped the stable 6.0 line's first release on 12 August and, three hours later, the first development build of 7.0. The 6.0 line is now in pure maintenance — the r1 changelog is seven merges of DVR, WebRTC and edge fixes. Everything new is in 7.0-d0: RTSP playback, RTMPS, IPv6 across every protocol, HEVC in both directions between RTMP and WebRTC, and HLS fMP4 segments for HEVC and LL-HLS.
What is WebinarGeek?
WebinarGeek moves from assisting the webinar to generating it.
WebinarGeek ships one digest a month and the recent ones read as steady operator work: channels, polls, calls to action, restreaming, live slide upload, captions, more languages. The AI Assistant landed in May and was extended in June. The newest update is a different kind of change — a webinar can be built from a text description, with Q&A filtering, UTM tracking and a redirectable registration page alongside it.

◆ Current state
SRS shipped the stable 6.0 line's first release on 12 August and, three hours later, the first development build of 7.0. The 6.0 line is now in pure maintenance — the r1 changelog is seven merges of DVR, WebRTC and edge fixes. Everything new is in 7.0-d0: RTSP playback, RTMPS, IPv6 across every protocol, HEVC in both directions between RTMP and WebRTC, and HLS fMP4 segments for HEVC and LL-HLS.
◆ Where it's heading
The project is trading breadth of legacy surface for a narrower, better-covered core. 7.0-d0 removes the embedded GB28181 SIP server, multi-threading, Cygwin, and most configuration hot reload, while introducing a Go proxy server and origin-cluster architecture alongside the C++ media core. Protocol coverage keeps generalizing — each release makes a codec or an address family a property of the server rather than of one delivery path.
◆ Prediction
Expect the 7.0 line to run a long alpha and beta train the way 6.0 did, with the Go proxy and origin clustering carrying most of the remaining work and 6.0 continuing to receive backported fixes in parallel.
WebinarGeek
0.0MEETINGS
WebinarGeek moves from assisting the webinar to generating it.
◆ Current state
WebinarGeek ships one digest a month and the recent ones read as steady operator work: channels, polls, calls to action, restreaming, live slide upload, captions, more languages. The AI Assistant landed in May and was extended in June. The newest update is a different kind of change — a webinar can be built from a text description, with Q&A filtering, UTM tracking and a redirectable registration page alongside it.
◆ Where it's heading
The feed is drifting from broadcast mechanics toward the setup and campaign layer around a webinar. Each digest adds another marketer-facing control — tracking, branding, routing — while the AI work moves earlier in the workflow. Generation is the natural end of that line: less of the product is about running the event and more about producing and measuring it.
◆ Prediction
On this cadence the next digest should extend generated webinars into the follow-up path — generated landing copy, email sequences, or replay assets — rather than adding streaming features.
