TrueConf vs Kaltura
A side-by-side editorial comparison of TrueConf and Kaltura — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
TrueConf vs Kaltura: at a glance
What is TrueConf?
Mobile and calendar add-on tweaks dominate; the AI summarization story shipped last month is the real signal.
TrueConf's recent feed is heavy on marketing posts (Top Performer award, market overview piece) and small companion-tool updates — calendar add-ons, the Calendar Connector for Exchange. The substantive product moves are TrueConf 3.2 for Android (voice messages, PIN-protected app access) and, from April, TrueConf AI Server 1.0.2 adding meeting summarization on top of transcription.
What is Kaltura?
Kaltura goes all-in on agentic AI video — Event OS, avatar roleplay, and an open-sourced AI Agent Skills suite.
Kaltura is in the middle of a sharp pivot toward agentic AI for rich-media platforms. In a single month it has open-sourced an AI Agent Skills suite (so any third-party AI agent can build rich-media experiences), introduced Event OS for AI Agents (natural-language event creation and orchestration), unveiled an avatar-powered roleplay solution for enterprise training, and is presenting an Agentic Revenue Engagement Platform at Forrester. The releases are tightly aligned around one thesis.

◆ Current state
TrueConf's recent feed is heavy on marketing posts (Top Performer award, market overview piece) and small companion-tool updates — calendar add-ons, the Calendar Connector for Exchange. The substantive product moves are TrueConf 3.2 for Android (voice messages, PIN-protected app access) and, from April, TrueConf AI Server 1.0.2 adding meeting summarization on top of transcription.
◆ Where it's heading
The on-premise video conferencing positioning continues to lean on enterprise-friendly extras — calendar integration, security patches, AI summarization that runs on customer-controlled infrastructure. Most of the cadence is incremental; the AI Server work is the only line of investment that could meaningfully change the competitive frame against cloud-first conferencing.
◆ Prediction
Expect AI Server to keep extending (action items, multi-language transcription, integrations with the meeting client UI). The core server and mobile apps will continue their slow stability-and-feature cadence.
Kaltura
8.8MEETINGS
Kaltura goes all-in on agentic AI video — Event OS, avatar roleplay, and an open-sourced AI Agent Skills suite.
◆ Current state
Kaltura is in the middle of a sharp pivot toward agentic AI for rich-media platforms. In a single month it has open-sourced an AI Agent Skills suite (so any third-party AI agent can build rich-media experiences), introduced Event OS for AI Agents (natural-language event creation and orchestration), unveiled an avatar-powered roleplay solution for enterprise training, and is presenting an Agentic Revenue Engagement Platform at Forrester. The releases are tightly aligned around one thesis.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc is clearly from a video platform into an agentic-AI orchestration layer that happens to specialize in video. Kaltura is staking out the position that video, events, training, and revenue engagement should all be run through AI agents talking to its platform — and is willing to open-source the agent-skills layer to make Kaltura the default endpoint for rich-media agents.
◆ Prediction
Expect a paid agent runtime or pricing model on top of the open-sourced skills, deeper avatar/roleplay options for enterprise L&D, and Event OS plug-ins for major collaboration platforms (Teams, Slack, Google Workspace). The next big tell will be how serious enterprise adoption of Event OS becomes versus staying a demo-stage capability.
