Security updates, upgraded interface, and new capabilities

We are thrilled to announce that now you will have access to conference transcription on TrueConf AI Server! The intelligent algorithm will help capture every detail of the discussion and automatically generate a meeting protocol.

The origin and development of video conferencing as we know it today occurred in the 20th century, the era of bold experiments in communications that were not always successful. The extremely high cost and the vague prospect of using video conferencing technologies posed major challenges to its advancement. It was only towards the late 1980s, when PCs and the Internet transitioned from novelty to commonplace, that video conferencing began to flourish, entering a period often referred to as its "golden age" that continues to the present time.

The Nepal Police chose an on-premises system to establish a dedicated collaboration infrastructure. This strategic move allows the Police to digitalize communications among officers and connect seamlessly with external departments and governmental organisations, significantly improving teamwork efficiency for critical police work.

Systems & Services Limited (SSL) and TrueConf deployed a secure satellite-based system for government video conferencing in Bangladesh. TrueConf Server was used to launch a private video conferencing cloud, which operates on GEO satellite channels and enables collaboration, online meetings, information exchange, and instant interaction in organizations with strict information security requirements.

We are pleased to announce TrueConf 8.5.2, the new version of our desktop client applications for Windows and macOS!

We’re glad to announce the release of TrueConf AI Server 1.0 — our new product for conference transcription! The solution automatically captures all the details of discussions during online meetings and multi-user video conferences, generating detailed transcripts with the ability to export and maintain a text archive.

Team communication ecosystems have gradually become the structural backbone of contemporary workplaces in 2025. With remote and hybrid work environments becoming widespread, organizations depend on resilient apps to keep entire teams consistently connected. Slack is widely regarded as the long-standing standard-bearer of office chat – a cloud-based platform recognized for its channels, integrations, and continual activity stream. Mattermost, by contrast, attracts users seeking stronger control: it’s an open-source chat framework that teams can host internally for enhanced privacy and deeper customization. TrueConf introduces a distinct angle, merging secure team messaging with advanced video conferencing inside a unified package. In this article, the comparison will cover Mattermost, Slack, and TrueConf across features, user experience, integrations, security, and pricing. The objective is to guide readers in determining which communication app provides the ideal match for their team’s requirements in 2025.

The modern workplace hums with constant digital chatter. Messages have replaced memos, and chat windows have become the new meeting rooms. A 2024 Gartner report found that 82% of enterprises now depend on dedicated chat platforms as their central communication channel, while nearly 70% of employees believe instant messaging helps them collaborate faster and more effectively. What once felt like a convenience has quietly turned into infrastructure.
