Digital Samba 5.46 introduces the implementation of some of the most-requested features across the platform.
In the Account Settings, we've added a new option to allow/disallow roles to start a session. This will allow Audience users and users with a Custom role to enter a session and upload their presentations, even if no Speaker is yet inside the room.

Additionally, we've added a new in-room functionality allowing Participants to pause and unpause their video streams.

Read more about our latest updates and fixes below.
Account Center
New Features
- Added a new permission to allow/disallow roles to start a session.
- Added a new section to the Account Settings page with options to place video controls on top or bottom.
- Added a Service Plan setting to limit the number of Breakout Rooms per session.
Fixed
- Updated the Account Settings languaging in the 'Default video display settings' options with clearer context.
- Set the HTML lang attribute dynamically based on logged-in participants' set language. This means that participants utilising automatic translators, e.g., Google Translate, can now get correct translations of in-room content and UI.
In-Room
New Features
- Added new functionality - pausing video streams. This allows participants to freeze their video stream so that they can give a sense of presence to everyone in the room when setting up for a meeting, taking quick breaks, or having a slow connection.
- Speakers can now edit the Audience users' names during the session runtime. This feature is also available on mobile.
Mobile
New Features
- Mobile users that are in Breakout Rooms can now invite Speakers to join their room.
- Updated the Samba Live logo, description, and app name to "Digital Samba".
- Files and folders in the Content Library will now be sorted alphabetically by default.
- Added an option for Mobile Speakers to move Breakout Room participants to the Main Room. If a Speaker removes a participant from the Breakout Room, everyone in the room will be notified.
- Updated the Join/Leave Breakout Room buttons with an improved and clearer design.
Fixed
- Resolved issue wherein the mic toggle was showing in the Welcome popup in a phone-only session.
- Fixed issue wherein the Participants' list was shown incorrectly in the Main Room after starting breakout, when 'Allow everyone to broadcast' was checked in the Session's settings.
- Resolved issue wherein the camera toggle was showing up in the join screen preview even when the camera button was disabled in the Service Plan settings.
- Resolved issue wherein the web and mobile users were not able to join the Breakout Room correctly.
