2021 APR 16th - Release Update

NEW FEATURES:


Large Meetings - up to 250 participants

  • We can now support meetings of up to 250 participants!
  • There are no restrictions on how many participants can have their cameras on
  • Contact Sara or Noam to get a Large Meetings plan or add-on setup


GOOGLE CALENDAR ADD-ON


Breakout Rooms

  • Breakout rooms are ready for customers!
  • Improvements will continue to be deployed for the next few weeks.
  • Breakout rooms can be tested through your BETA Plan
  • Please contact Sara or Noam to get Breakout rooms added to any of your customer plans


Virtual Backgrounds

  • Flip your own video self view so text on virtual backgrounds reads properly on your own preview, “Display my video as others will see”.
  • Other participants always see your video with text reading correctly, but by default all video calling applications mirror the self preview because people are used to looking at themselves in a mirror.


Past Meeting Search

  • Search functionality is now built directly into the improved Past Meetings view
  • Searching past meetings for people, chat messages, agendas, file names and transcripts is all supported!
  • Try Gmail style search like “participant: Sara” to find all the meetings you’ve held with Sara


UPCOMING FEATURE RELEASES:

  • April 22: VP9 video codec. VP9 uses much less bandwidth and performs better over poor internet connections. This should improve video quality for participants with a poor internet connection.
  • April 29: Dial-out needs to be delayed to ensure breakout rooms and large meetings were completed on time. Dial-out will include merging a phone caller with a video tile! More details will be provided next week. Dial-out/Call me - allows a host to call a participant directly into a meeting via phone, or for a participant to be called by the application.
  • May 6th: Private Chat. Chat privately with other participants.
  • Many new features are being planned for release in May, June and July. A roadmap update will be provided next week.
