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

Nextcloud Talk stabilizes a major v24 line while keeping the v22 stable branch patched.

◆Current state
Nextcloud Talk is running two tracks in parallel: a 24.0.0 release-candidate train moving toward a major release, and continued maintenance patches on the stable 22.0.x branch. Recent RC entries are dominated by bug fixes and dependency/translation churn, while the earlier 24.0 betas introduced the substantive features (permanent call rooms, advanced noise suppression, calls from the avatar menu).
◆Where it's heading
The product is in the hardening phase of a major version — most v24 RC activity is fixes rather than new capability, which signals the feature set is largely locked and the team is converging on a stable v24. Call quality and reliability (frame rate, reconnection, screenshare rendering) are a recurring focus across both branches.
◆Prediction
A stable 24.0.0 release is the likely next move once the RC fixes settle, carrying the call-experience features from the beta line. Expect continued backported fixes to 22.0.x in the meantime.

◆Recent moves

    v24 RC4: chat-edit hotkey and dial-out rejection fixes

    Release candidate 24.0.0-rc.4 is stabilization work — chat edit-hotkey handling and a SIP dial-out rejection fix, plus dependency and translation bumps. No new capability; part of converging on a stable v24.

    v24 RC3: screenshare video and federated reaction fixes

    RC 24.0.0-rc.3 carries fixes — rendering another user's video during screenshare, federated reaction notification names, and admin-settings access — typical late-RC hardening rather than feature work.

    22.0.13: screenshare video and federated reaction-name fixes

    Stable patch 22.0.13 backports the same screenshare-video and federated reaction-name fixes to the maintained branch. Maintenance, not new capability.

    v24 RC2: Raise hand moves into the call reactions menu

    RC 24.0.0-rc.2 includes a small UX change — moving 'Raise hand' into the in-call reactions menu — alongside recording and tagging fixes. Minor polish within the v24 hardening cycle.

    v24 RC1: email guests without public links, forced lobby

    RC 24.0.0-rc.1 adds real features still landing late in the cycle — emailing guests without a public link and an option to force the lobby — plus navigation and call-UI fixes, showing v24's access-control surface was still being filled out.
