3CX lands V20 Update 9 — redesigned web client and AI assistants in the PBX
A side-by-side editorial comparison of StreamYard and Eventscase — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
StreamYard rebrands and stacks engagement features — polls, branded QR codes, pop-out chat, Vimeo as native destination.
StreamYard refreshed its visual identity in early April with a new Puddles-the-duck logo, brighter electric-blue palette, modern typography, and a friendlier dashboard. In parallel the team is shipping a steady stream of audience engagement and customization features: built-in polls, branded QR codes, custom ticker positioning and speed, pop-out chat, and Vimeo as a native streaming destination. All recent features are available on all plans, suggesting acquisition-friendly positioning.
Eventscase's feed is an events-industry blog, with EVA assistant work the only product thread
The tracked feed is Eventscase's events-industry blog plus monthly news round-ups, not a conventional changelog. Most of the recent window is editorial (evergreen-content, internal-events, data-strategy, whitepaper promos), with the recurring product thread being EVA, the company's WhatsApp-based virtual event assistant, including a post on EVA gaining voice-note support.

The product is leaning into on-screen engagement primitives (polls, QR codes, branded tickers) and a wider destination footprint (Vimeo joining the multistream set). The rebrand framing — celebrating recent improvements while preserving 'delightful simplicity' — positions StreamYard against more enterprise-flavored competitors and toward creators and small business users.
Expect more on-screen engagement widgets (interactive overlays, audience reactions) and additional native streaming destinations. The rebrand framing suggests upcoming feature pushes will be marketed around audience engagement and reach.

The company is steadily building its AI-for-events story around EVA and multi-source event data, repositioning from a pure event-management platform toward AI-assisted attendee experience and analytics. But the blog format keeps actual EVA capability changes mixed in with newsletters and whitepapers, so shipped detail is thin.
Expect continued EVA and AI-for-events content, likely with more assistant capabilities and data-integration framing. Concrete releases will keep surfacing inside blog posts rather than as discrete changelog entries.
