Samba Live 5.22

Available from: 5 September 2021

With this update, Samba Live allows users to upload their very own virtual background. In addition, as an OEM user, you can enable or disable virtual backgrounds for your service plans.

For an optimal custom virtual background, we recommend using an image with proportions of 16:9. We accept both PNG- and JPG-files with a maximum size of 16 MB.

Additionally to our work on virtual backgrounds, we fixed some minor security issues in our systems and improved email delivery by adding alt-tags to images in our invites.
