FreeSWITCH Week in Review (Master Branch) May 23rd-May 30th<br><p>Hello, again. This passed week in the FreeSWITCH master branch we had 648 commits! Most of those commits came from the merged 1.6 video branch and bring in a lot of new features. First and foremost, check out the new video functionality! The merge of 1.6 video branch means FreeSWITCH master now has the ability to transcode video and this means two different devices using different video codecs can use FreeSWITCH to translate between them. Some of the many other new features are the ability to live stream, record calls to a video file, and playback videos into a call with mod_av, overlaying logos or images with mod_cv, desktop sharing through mod_verto, and PDF and GIF rendered as video with mod_imagick. FreeSWITCH master also has MCU support for mod_conference!</p>
<p>Join us on Wednesdays at 12:00 CT for some more FreeSWITCH fun! And head over to <a href="https://freeswitch.com/">freeswitch.com</a> to learn more about FreeSWITCH support.</p>
