v40 is all about making our product feel better in ways that matter to users and admins.
This release adds a more polished in-call experience for users, gives administrators better visibility into important security settings, and delivers major backend improvements for Google Meet interoperability. It is a practical update, but an important one, especially for organizations that need secure video collaboration to feel both modern and dependable.
Here’s what’s new.
A new speaker-focused Teams-like layout
Pexip introduced the groundbreaking Teams-like layout more than three years ago with the v30 release. Since then, it has been widely adopted by organizations that want to give conference room users a familiar Teams-style meeting experience. With Infinity v40, Pexip adds a new Teams-like layout option with a similar look and feel, but without face detection or automatic zooming and cropping of participant video feeds. This new layout still shows avatars for audio-only participants, familiar raise hand indicators, active speaker highlighting, and supports up to eight Teams video participants, while keeping the active or spotlit video participant in focus.
Major progress on Google Meet interoperability
v40 also includes important Google Meet interoperability improvements. Participants joining Google Meet meetings through Pexip Infinity can now raise and lower their hand from their video conferencing systems and see hand-raise status from other participants. It is the kind of everyday meeting behavior users expect, and an important step in making cross-platform meetings feel more seamless.
Improvements to the user experience
The clearest theme in v40 is a more modern in-call experience, and participant avatars are one of the most noticeable updates. This gives audio-only participants a more prominent place in the meeting layout, allowing them to be visually represented in a way that is more familiar and human. Avatars can be integrated with external directories, meaning that the same avatar used in all other corporate communications can now be automatically used for collaboration meetings hosted on the Pexip platform. Administrators can also choose to enable the feature per meeting through theme configuration.
v40 also adds the VMR name or dialed address in the web app, so users can more easily confirm they are in the right place, giving added clarity when people are moving quickly between meetings.
Better admin support where it counts
This release improves OpenID Connect (OIDC) compliance by supporting Authorization Code Flow with Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE), making it easier to connect Infinity with customer-managed identity provider configurations. In practice, that gives administrators more flexibility to support the authentication models their organizations already rely on. This update applies to both administrator login and to end user authentication for joining meetings. Identity requirements can be complex, and platforms need to adapt to them, not the other way around.
v40 also introduces clearer FIPS status visibility in the admin interface. Administrators can now more easily see whether FIPS mode is enabled, which makes day-to-day system management simpler and supports environments working toward strict compliance requirements.
Available now
Pexip Infinity v40 is ready and waiting for you. As always, we recommend reviewing the release notes in the Pexip documentation portal to see the full scope of changes and prepare for your upgrade.
With each release, Pexip Infinity continues to move in a clear direction: a secure meeting platform that feels modern for users, practical for admins, and ready for the realities of interoperable collaboration.
