Rutba Meet Coming soon

Where Rutba Meet actually stands. Coming soon here means "waiting on one deployment", not "not written". Built and tested: rooms and screen sharing, host mute and remove with a guarantee that a room is never left with nobody in charge, a lobby you knock at and are admitted from, meeting lock and passcode, guest join without a Rutba account (passcode-only, off until a host turns it on, rate-limited so a six-digit code cannot be swept), raised hands and reactions, polls, breakout rooms, a shared whiteboard, background blur, noise suppression, audio-only fallback when the line struggles, a pre-join camera and microphone check, active-speaker and grid with per-viewer pinning, in-meeting chat, a shared document everyone edits at once, an attendance report with CSV, and recording retention that detaches rather than destroys. What is not in place is the media server all of it talks to, which is why you cannot buy this yet. Recording is deliberately narrow - local capture, attachable only if it was declared to every participant first, with the server refusing an undeclared one - so it is not the server-side recording an incumbent means by the word. Still absent: transcripts and live captions, AI summaries, server-side recording, background replacement, dial-in from an ordinary phone, and end-to-end encryption, which is refused on purpose because it would foreclose the recording consent gate that makes the rest of this defensible.
