Our focus has been on the dial-in portion of the system. While we still have some work to do, we made a lot of progress in 519 and you can now rely on joining an HTML5 meeting from VOIP or phone and enjoy advanced features such as user merging in the UI and the first version of floor controls. The addition of profile pictures makes the meeting experience a lot more enjoyable when working without video.
