Digital Samba Embedded
Dashboard and API
New Features
Added support for the Arabic and Portuguese languages in the dashboard. Check out more language options in our documentation.
Audio auto gain control is now adjustable! While audio input levels have always been automatically adjusted, added the ability to turn off this feature if needed. This provides more control. For optimal audio performance, we recommend keeping it enabled in our dashboard. Please note, the Safari web browser ignores this setting.
The "Your room URL" field under "Tokens" in the dashboard now shows the room's friendly name instead of the confusing UUID. This makes it easier for moderators to recognise and share room links.
Added the ability to create whiteboard files via the API! Moderators can now effortlessly generate whiteboard files directly through the API. Refer to our documentation for more information.
In-Room
New Features
Our new Whiteboard persistence feature lets you create a whiteboard and automatically save it to the content library, provided it is enabled. If the content library is not enabled, the whiteboard will not be saved. Smooth warning messages will inform participants about this process. Within the content library, participants can easily rename, delete, or open the whiteboard for continued collaboration. The same whiteboard can be worked on within the room or across breakout rooms, making it an excellent tool for seamless teamwork. Please note that only one whiteboard can be open at a time to ensure focused collaboration. This update simplifies the process of managing and collaborating on whiteboards, enhancing the overall meeting experience!
Full Arabic and Portuguese translations have been added for the in-room experience! Participants can now select these new language options, creating a more immersive and inclusive environment for everyone.
Whiteboard drawing is now more responsive! The refresh rate has been increased, reducing delay and providing a smoother, more fluid drawing experience across all tools.
Added SDK method to open and close files by ID! This new functionality gives participants greater control over file management, enabling seamless opening and closing of files directly through the SDK.
Added SDK methods to open and close a whiteboard! This new feature empowers moderators to manage whiteboard sessions directly through the SDK, enhancing flexibility and control in meetings.
