Digital Samba 613 - SDK Virtual Background

Get ready for a more personalised experience in Digital Samba 613. Participants can now join rooms with custom virtual backgrounds set via the SDK, making every session feel branded and tailored from the start. Plus, recording links can now stay active for up to one week, giving more time and flexibility to share sessions with ease. We’ve also made important fixes to ensure the user experience runs even smoother.


Digital Samba Embedded, Dashboard and API

New Features

  • Added the ability to keep recording links available through the dashboard for up to 1 week, extending the previous 24-hour window. After the selected time, the link will expire and no longer be accessible.

In-Room

New Features

  • Added support for configuring available background images through the SDK at the time of joining a room. This enables personalising background options for participants by adding or overriding the default Digital Samba backgrounds before they enter. After joining, participants can still change their active background via the SDK, but new backgrounds cannot be added or removed dynamically. Please visit our documentation.

Fixed

  • Fixed issue where exporting the whiteboard failed after adding drawings and uploading an image.
  • Fixed an issue in Picture-in-Picture (PiP) behaviour where the participant’s video tile was no longer displayed alongside the screen share preview during screen sharing.
  • Fixed and restored the drag handle functionality between content and broadcast tiles in PiP mode, enabling proper layout adjustments that were previously unavailable.
  • Fixed issue where YouTube videos restarted when collapsing and expanding the tile.
