Version 19.2.0

What's new in this release?

In VidyoConnect version 19.2.0, we're happy to introduce in-call moderator controls. With this feature, you can quickly and easily perform moderator actions (such as muting the participants' microphones) from within the VidyoConnect desktop application.

In addition, we've added the snapshot notification feature. This feature gives you the security of knowing that you will be notified if a mobile participant takes a snapshot of your video or your shared content during a call.

VidyoConnect version 19.2.0 is supported in VidyoPortal version 19.1.0 or later. If you are an on-premises customer, refer to the Vidyo Compatibility Matrix article to determine which version of the portal your VidyoConnect release is compatible with.

• In-call moderator controls
• You can now quickly and easily moderate meetings from within the VidyoConnect desktop application. Instead of having to go to a separate web page, you can simply click the Moderate call button to access these in-call moderator functions:
• Soft mute all participants
• Soft mute per participant
• Disconnect per participant or all participants
• If you prefer to view the moderator controls in a separate browser window, you can still do so simply by selecting the Open in browser option from the "Moderate call" panel. In the browser, there are full moderator controls including hard mute camera and microphone and lock and unlock the meeting.
• Room owners can create a moderator PIN that will allow other participants to become the moderator. This can be especially useful if you anticipate that you may be late to a meeting or have to leave early.
• For more information, please refer to the Using the Moderation Capability in the VidyoConnect for Desktop Application article.
• Local audio levels
• Device settings now display real-time microphone audio levels.
• New and enhanced window controls and positioning
• Minimize the window to the taskbar while staying in a call.
• Maximize the window and then un-maximize to return to the previous window size for full application mode.
• Click an ESC button to leave a full-screen window to stay in a call or in a share.
• Receive a warning message if you try to close the app window during a call, rather than getting disconnected from the call.
• Change the size and position of windows more easily. For example, when starting a call, the app window remains the same size and position as an out-of-call window.
• Enhanced mini-view share window
• The Mini-View window now has a minimize button in the title bar and has mute microphone and mute camera buttons.
• Snapshot notification
• If a mobile participant in a call takes a snapshot of you or of the content you are sharing, you will now be notified by either of the following messages: For example, “Nancy Smith” has taken a snapshot of your video., "Nancy Smith” has taken a snapshot of your share.
• Bug fixes
• In this release, we've addressed some issues to improve usability and reliability.
• System updates
• For added security and stability, updates for multiple third-party packages and libraries are included as part of this release.
