MEETINGS
Velocity6.3

Self-hosted video calls, screen sharing, and chat platform integrated with Nextcloud collaboration suite.

Nextcloud Talk 24 is heading toward GA — permanent rooms, noise suppression, richer conversation organisation.

video-callsself-hostedfederationsip-integrationrelease-cadence
◆Current state
Talk 24's beta carried the substantive payload: 'Call from anywhere' through the avatar menu, permanent call rooms, advanced noise suppression, attachment grouping per conversation, and full tagging/sorting/grouping for the conversation list. Four RCs have followed with steady fixes across chat, SIP, federation, and admin access. The 22.x stable line is receiving parallel backports for the same federation and SIP issues.
◆Where it's heading
The 24.x cycle is the most consequential Talk release in some time, pulling the product toward feature parity with hosted meeting suites while preserving federation and self-hosting. Late-cycle work is overwhelmingly stability and admin polish, suggesting GA is close. Hub 26 Spring is now the floor.
◆Prediction
Expect Talk 24.0.0 GA within the next few release cycles, followed by minor patch trains on 22.x and 21.x stable branches. Next-cycle investment likely turns to bot/agent extensibility and richer presence and scheduling primitives.

    Talk 24 RC.3: video-while-screenshare, federation, and admin fixes

    RC.3 fixes a chunky list of real user-visible bugs: video rendering while screensharing, federated reaction notifications, admin access in limited-Talk environments, SIP bridge auth, hardware permission enforcement, and email-guest caching. Strong signal that GA is approaching once these stabilise.

    Talk 24 RC.1: email guests without public link, force-lobby preset

    RC.1 adds two real features alongside the fixes: email guests can join without a public link, and admins can force the lobby via a preset. Both tighten the admin/security story for the 24.x line.
