Digital Samba Embedded Dashboard and API

New Features

Added a "Never crop stream" room setting that applies a no-crop video fit to all participants by default, while the existing in-room per-user toggle still lets individuals override it for their own session.

In-Room

New Features

Added image uploads in chat, so participants can share images directly during a session.
Added persistent virtual backgrounds, so an uploaded background is saved and restored each time you rejoin.
Added the ability to import polls from a CSV file, matching the existing quiz import.
Added persistence of the last used annotation tool and its settings when switching content or reopening presentations.
Added Danish to the available language translations.
Added Finnish to the available language translations.

Fixed

Fixed the Create Breakout Rooms modal showing a misleading "users per room" count when there are no eligible participants.

Digital Samba Free

Added search by meeting name to scheduled calls, so users can find a call without scrolling or filtering by date.
Added past scheduled calls to the dashboard, so earlier calls now appear more prominently.
