Version 21.1.0 (Android and iOS)—April 2021

What's new in this release?

  • Lock the room during a call
  • If you join a VidyoConnect call as the room owner or if you are an administrator, you can now lock the room to prevent others from joining the call.
  • To lock the room, tap the Lock Room button at the bottom of the Participants list on your VidyoConnect mobile app.
  • A message appears asking if you are sure you want to lock the room, and you can then tap OK or Cancel. To unlock the room, tap the Unlock Room button.
  • Change your password
  • Reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your VidyoConnect mobile app with the new change password feature.
  • To change your password, tap More on your toolbar, tap Settings, tap your user name, and then tap Change Password at the bottom of the screen.
  • To successfully change your password, you must provide your old password first, and your new password must qualify as a strong password.
  • This feature applies only to users on portals using local authentication (not LDAP or SAML).
  • Join webinars
  • If you've been invited by a VidyoConnect desktop user to join a webinar as a guest, you can click the guest link on your mobile device to join the webinar with the VidyoConnect mobile app.
  • The VidyoConnect desktop user configures which functions are available to you as a mobile app user. They can configure whether you can mute and unmute your camera and mic, if your camera and mic are disabled, and whether you can share content, view the participants list, and chat. Their configuration will determine which buttons are available on your VidyoConnect mobile app toolbar once you join the webinar.
  • For example, if the VidyoConnect desktop user configured that you can mute your camera and mic, but that you can't share content, view the participants list, or chat, your toolbar would look like this on your mobile app (notice that the Share, Participant, and Chat icons aren't displayed):
  • Wait for the meeting host
  • The Waiting Room feature prevents meeting participants from seeing or hearing each other until the meeting host joins the meeting.
  • When the host joins, a message indicates that the meeting is about to start and you can then tap the Join Now button.
  • Once you've joined the call, your microphone and camera will be muted and a message will remind you to tap the buttons to unmute.
  • Note that this release supports Waiting Room mode and not Presenter mode. Administrators can enable or disable Waiting Room mode from the Room Attributes page on the Tenant Admin portal.
  • See the four most recently used portals
  • To log in to your VidyoConnect mobile app, you have to indicate which portal you'd like to sign into. Sometimes, however it can be difficult to remember the URLs of the portals. With this version of the app, you can now simply tap on the portal field to see a drop-down menu of the four portals you've used most recently.
  • "Generate Diagnostic Reports" renamed to "Generate Logs"
  • From the VidyoConnect Mobile app Settings screen, you can generate logs that you can then send to Vidyo Support. The Settings menu option that enables you to do this has been renamed from Generate Diagnostic Report to Generate Logs.
