Release date: August 31, 2021

New and updated functionality

Improvements to the user and admin experience.

Live sessions

  • Made the session chat selectable so users can copy/paste text.

  • Added an option to start an archive recording when the session goes live and not capture green room activity.

  • Ensuring consistent moderator options across all attendee/speaker types publishing in a session.

Live sessions: Raise hand

Improved the workflow to help users understand what happens when they raise their hand in a live session.

  • The Join Session tooltip is changed to Ask to Speak.

  • Added confirmation modal asking the user if they want to share video + audio or audio only.

  • The user now has the ability to cancel their request to Ask to Speak.

Documentation: Ask to speak in a session

Live sessions: Video layouts

  • Sessions can be set to Grid Layout or Horizontal Speaker Layout.

  • When a speaker shares their screen, the video layout automatically switches to Horizontal Speaker Layout, if it was originally set to Grid Layout. When they stop sharing their screen, it returns to Grid Layout.

  • Added a new overlay to the Horizontal Speaker Layout to specifically indicate when there is no active speaker.

  • Made video layouts default, instead of needing tags in the content management system. See more below:

How video layout defaults and tags work

There are now only two video layout tags. They’re renamed:

  • Horizontal Speaker Layout (previously known as Best Fit or Tile)

  • Grid Layout (previously known as Ribbon or Speaker View)

Sessions now default to a video layout, without needing to add a layout tag.

  • Main stage and Panel sessions default to Horizontal Speaker Layout.

  • Breakouts default to Grid Layout.

  • Broadcasts and Archives respect these defaults as well as the tag specification.

If you want to override the defaults, you can add a Horizontal Speaker Layout or Grid Layout tag to any session.

Registration and onboarding

  • Reworked password reset process to add token-based password set/recovery/magic link functionality.

  • Added an option to force integrated and SSO users to complete their profiles.

Analytics

  • New User Rate Card is added to the existing metric strip.

  • User can click on Today/One Week/One Month/All Time as a “preset” and data populates

    • Main Analytics

    • Content Analytics

  • Added new bar graph for total views & unique views grouped by time frame.

    • Tooltip hover that includes values of the corresponding bar.

  • Graph icon is added to session modules and provides summary per session. (Match icon/layout of Tracks in analytics.)

  • Delta is visible and delta icon matches rate of increase or decrease.

    • New User Rate

    • Session View Rate

  • Language updated on Main Analytics: Start Date is changed to Date Range.

  • Added clicks on the exhibitor Talk Now button to the Activity log.
