Samba Live 5.27

Available from: 14 November 2021

Our latest update adds several improvements to our pointer tool. You can now use the pointer over content files in the whiteboard with each user having their own color (same as their avatar). With Samba Live 5.27, the account center supports adding "Simultaneous Recorder Limits" to service plans. Additionally, we updated our mobile app to support new features such as live answer notifications.
