OpenTalk v24.21.0

• Release date: 2024-12-16
• Release series: 24.21

Release notes

Noteworthy changes

Popout media streams

A new button for popping out the media stream has been added to the video image. Pressing this button will open a new tab or window which can be moved around independently from the video conference page.

Viewing the presentation on one screen while keeping the grid view open in the main meeting page on another screen is one of the nice use cases of this feature.

Migration to LiveKit

This is the first release which uses LiveKit as the new media server.

For users, this means improvements in the media connection stability.

Administrators must perform the migration to LiveKit from Janus media gateway. The details are described on the Migrate to LiveKit page.

Changes in the OIDC configuration

Configuration options of the authentication provider no longer target Keycloak specifically, but OIDC in general. For the time being, Keycloak is still the only supported authentication provider, but that is likely to change in the future.

See the controller migration guide for more information.
