Digital Samba 647

Available from 11 September, 2026

Introducing Digital Samba 647! Move files and folders into a different folder from both the dashboard and the room, send chat messages into a live session through the public API, and enjoy PDF conversion that is around four times faster, alongside cleaner participant initials and clearer messaging when virtual backgrounds cannot run. Read on to discover what's new, and don't forget to check the latest updates in Digital Samba Free.

New Features

• Move files and folders
  Move files and folders into another folder, both from the dashboard via the three dots menu and from the content library in the room, with a destination picker and a confirmation once the move completes.
• Chat messages through the public API
  Send chat messages into a live room straight from your own backend, so notifications and announcements can be pushed into a session without anyone typing in the room.
• Four times faster PDF conversion
  Our PDF conversion engine has been rebased onto the latest PDFium, so uploaded PDFs are ready around four times faster.

Fixed

• Cleaner participant initials
  Special characters in a display name no longer produce odd-looking avatar badges, so camera-off tiles stay tidy.
• Clearer virtual background messaging
  On computers that cannot run virtual backgrounds, the panel now explains that graphics acceleration is needed, instead of asking the user to try again.

Digital Samba Free

• Dates now use the European format across the interface and outgoing emails, removing any ambiguity about which day a call falls on.
