Nextcloud Talk

MEETINGS
Velocity5.0

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

Nextcloud Talk patches v22 and v23 while v25 stable sits five weeks past its last RC.

◆Current state
Nextcloud Talk's newest releases are maintenance drops for the v22 and v23 branches: a faster conversation-list unread cache, rate limiting on public-share and video verification, and a Matterbridge domain check against DNS rebinding. v23.0.12 also fixes SIP so direct incoming calls register as phone participants. The v25 line, which carries classified conversations, an owner role and configurable AI call summaries, has not moved past RC3 since September 10.
◆Where it's heading
The feature story is still v25's compliance and governance set aimed at regulated, self-hosted deployments. Meanwhile the older branches are getting security hardening rather than features, which fits a team prioritizing stable-line safety before a major cut. The long gap after RC3 suggests the v25 release is gated on something not visible in these notes.
◆Prediction
The next notable release is v25.0.0 stable or a further RC; the entries don't show why it has stalled, so timing is unclear.

    v23.0.12: SIP call fix, rate limiting, Matterbridge hardening

    A v23 maintenance release that bundles security hardening (rate-limited video verification, Matterbridge domain validation) with a SIP fix for direct incoming calls and a faster unread cache. Useful upkeep for the stable branch while v25 waits.

    v22.0.19: share-auth rate limiting and Matterbridge fix

    The v22 branch gets the same backported security work (public-share auth rate limiting, DNS-rebinding protection for Matterbridge) plus the unread-cache speedup. Long-tail support for older installs, not new capability.

    Nextcloud Talk v25.0.0 RC3: file preview fixes

    RC3 is a translation update and minor UI fix release—file preview rearrangement in combined messages and an image fallback for failed previews. The fix enabling threads from file uploads is a small usability gap closure. No new feature work.

    v25.0.0 RC2: configurable AI call summary prompts

    Configurable call summary prompts land in RC2—administrators can now customize the AI prompts used for call summaries, extending the AI meeting intelligence layer introduced earlier. The improved in-chat message search promotion is a UX improvement for discoverability.
