Hello and welcome to another edition of InEvent News. We have exciting things to share with you today. Check out our latest updates:

Video Conferencing Recording Changes

Video calls are one of the most effective ways to stay connected with each other, especially because you can always record the content and use it for multiple purposes. Although, they are best enjoyed when the end-to-end communication is seamless and void of interruptions. Poor internet connectivity alongside other technical issues can lead to a host dropping from the video call, ultimately impacting the entire recording process of a session. In order to avoid such occurrence, InEvent has configured the video conferencing room mode to enable recording regardless of the host’s presence.

The Layout of the recording is dependent on the activity being performed. If only cameras are active, it’ll be a Gallery View type of recording. If you're sharing your screen, PDF or a video, the Focus Mixed type will be used. Note that this layout is not the same as that of the Control Room. In this layout, cameras are positioned on the left corner as a vertical grid.

Speed Networking Layout

InEvent is committed to provide you with the latest video technologies, so you can let go of outdated video conferencing solutions and embrace an all-in-one streaming software. The new Speed Networking layout promotes a more immersive environment to ease the random meetups you can promote in your virtual and hybrid events. The new animations, for example, display various personalities which signify togetherness in networking regardless of occupation and background. This thought-provoking message is reinforced by the sole purpose of events which is to bond and interact. The intent behind this upgrade is to make attendees feel relaxed and motivated to connect with each other.

Enough said…head over to the speed networking to see for yourself and relish the moment.

We have also dedicated time to deploy some fixes:

• Fixed issue that the Email background color wouldn’t save correctly.
• Fixed image distortion on Virtual Backgrounds for Virtual Lobby.
• Fixed Virtual Backgrounds tool that was not disabling the feature when needed.
• Fixed playback token on Audio Transcription Console.
• Fixed issue with the Copy Event when Live Studio was enabled.
• Fixed Form disclaimer widget on Registration Form. It was breaking if you had activities on form option enabled.
• Fixed Form disclaimer widget on Purchase Form.
• Fixed Polls settings buttons on Virtual Lobby.
• Fixed issue on Live Studio that certain speakers couldn’t hear their co-hosts in certain situations.
• Fixed Firebase Websocket chat quick connection with new splash loading for Virtual Lobby;

Here are some cool additions to the platform:

• Added toll-free number for Dial-in option.
• Added option to download your own certificate directly on My Account;
• Added Salesforce duplication rule check in case it triggers while creating a new Lead or Contact.
• Added option to open links on a new page when using Markdown for Headings. To use it, add {target=_blank} at the end of the Markdown link entry.
• Now using native HLS library for static background videos on Virtual Lobby to reduce CPU usage.
• Added automatic layout restore on Live Studio if the host has to refresh their page.
• Added speakers stage status restore on Live Studio if the host has to refresh their page. Previously, all speakers were sent backstage once the host returned to the live stream.

That is all for today! I hope you keep achieving your goals for events and webinars this year and count on us to keep helping you to broadcast the best streaming content!
