Product Bulletin No. 1285, July 2020

What's new in this release?

  • VidyoPortal support for Safari as a WebRTC browser
  • Along with the Chrome and Firefox browsers, the VidyoPortal now recognizes Safari as a supported WebRTC browser.
  • VidyoConnect desktop users can log in and join calls with WebRTC when using Safari on macOS.
  • Your WebRTC cluster must be upgraded to 20.1.0 or later to use this; consequently,Safari support is not enabled by default. If you are interested in this feature, contact Vidyo Support and they can advise you based on your deployment.
  • Update for Epic Context-Aware Linking (CAL) Users
  • When a user who does not yet have the VidyoConnect desktop application installed clicks an Epic CAL link to a meeting, that user will no longer automatically join the meeting after the VidyoConnect installation is completed.
  • Instead, after installation, the VidyoConnect desktop application will display this message: "Please go back to the browser to restart the page with room link".
  • Note: You must upgrade to version 20.1.2 or later of the VidyoConnect desktop application in order for this update to take effect.
  • Bug fixes
  • In this release, we've addressed some issues to improve usability and reliability.

  • For added security and stability, updates for multiple third-party packages and libraries are included as part of this release.
  • The default MTU size has been changed to 1460 to address network overhead in some virtualized environments.
