Version 18.5.0

Add legacy endpoints to Your favorite contacts
If you often use the VidyoConnect application to call the same legacy H.323/SIP/telephony endpoints, you can now add those endpoints as favorite contacts in your VidyoConnect Contacts list.
Guest user access to digital stethoscopes
The digital stethoscope feature has been available since VidyoConnect version 18.3.0 and VidyoPortal version 18.3.0.
Previously, the digital stethoscope feature was restricted to registered users, whereby patient-side users (a.k.a., "stethoscope owners”) were required to be signed in in order for remote physicians to access the stethoscope audio during a VidyoConnect call. Now, both patient-side users and physician users are allowed to access the stethoscope feature as guest users.
