v2.6.240.11

 

UX Improvements:

  • Improved speaker assignment for automated transcription
  • Improved UX when the desktop app needs to be updated
    • Desktop apps updated to 3.0 (Mac = 3.0.5, Windows = 3.0.6)

 

 

UPCOMING FEATURE RELEASES:

  • May 20th: Improved presenter UX for screensharing.

    • When a presenter shared their screen they will see the following image, letting them know that they are sharing their screen

    • If the presenter activates annotation or another participant begins annotating on the screenshare, the following toast message will appear

    • The presenter will then be able to see their shared screen in place of the image above. They will then be able to annotate on the shared screen and also enlarge the size of the preview.




  • May 20th: Instant Join

    USER STORY: As a regular user of video conferencing from the same device and browser and using the same audio equipment, I want to be able to join my meetings faster.

    Meeting hosts will be able to skip the video and audio preview screen when starting a meeting. Audio and video settings will be added at the account level settings menu.


 

  • May 27th: Private Chat

    USER STORY: As a participant or moderator, I would like to be able to send a message directly to another person in that meeting without anyone else seeing that message. I would like to be able to have multiple simultaneous chat threads taking place at the same time with different individuals.



  • May: Annotation on video tiles

    • Enable annotating on video feeds as well as screen sharing.  This is very useful in field service and medical scenarios where annotating on a video feed is very helpful. Wireframes will be shared in next week’s update.

  • May: Screen sharing UI enhancement

    • Only showing the screen sharing preview to presenters when annotation is active. This should reduce issues with the infinity mirror. Wireframes will be provided in next week’s update.

  • June: Laser pointer for annotations

    • We are adding a laser pointer to our annotation tools.  This will allow all participants to follow the mouse of the participant annotating.  More details will be provided in next week’s update.

  • Postponed to July: Dial-out/Call me - allows a host to call participants directly into a meeting via phone, or for a participant to be called by the application.
