Explore what’s new in Digital Samba 622. A new permission has been added to control question name visibility in Q&A, allowing roles to be configured to see or hide who asked each question. Phone participants can raise or lower hands, and new caption languages are available. Usability gets a boost with a one-click whiteboard palette menu button and a new screen sharing preview that avoids the infinite mirror effect when sharing the whole screen.
