Digital Samba Embedded

Dashboard and API

New Features

  • We've upgraded the dashboard's 'rooms' section to include multi-select and 'select all' options for bulk room deletion.
  • We've enhanced the password field description on the signup form for clearer validation requirements, aiming to simplify the signup process.
  • We've updated the email field's placeholder on our signup form to 'name@company.com' to clearly indicate that a company email is required, streamlining the signup process.
  • We have updated our 'attendee' preset role to include the 'raise hand' permission.

In-Room

New Features

  • We cleaned up the screenshare view by hiding the screenshare badge, 'pin' and 'fullscreen' icons. These elements now appear only when you hover over the screenshared tile.
  • We've implemented a message to ask participants to wait when the server needs time to boot due to a large number of users joining.

Fixed

  • We've resolved an issue where a blank grey tile was incorrectly displayed instead of the intended screenshare stream for certain users. This problem occurred under specific conditions, often linked to network instability or compatibility issues with certain hardware configurations. Our team has implemented a robust fix to ensure consistent screenshare functionality across all supported devices and networks, enhancing the overall user experience.
  • We've fixed an issue where, after a connection glitch, a participant would stop seeing or hearing remote participants, whereas the remote participants continued to see and hear them. This fix ensures a seamless and consistent experience for all participants during online meetings, maintaining both audio and visual connections even in the event of temporary network disruptions.

In-Room

Fixed

  • We've resolved a bug in the chats panel where it previously didn't display a new date divider as the day changed.
  • We've corrected a misalignment in the content library / polls contextual menus where icons were slightly higher than their labels. This alignment issue is now resolved.
