Important changes and new requirements

  • VidyoPortal VE version 19.2.0 and later requires 12GB memory allocation at a minimum for production use. Prior versions only required 8GB of memory.
  • ACTION TO TAKE: Make sure to review your configuration and adjust the memory allocation if necessary.
  • VidyoPortal version 20.2.x and later requires you to set the SOAPAction header for all SOAP requests; otherwise, requests may fail.
  • ACTIONS TO TAKE: Inspect any API integrations that may use the Vidyo Web Services APIs and validate that this header is appropriately set. We also highly recommend that you test any API integrations in a lab environment prior to upgrading to your production environment.
  • Mobile WebRTC for iOS and iPadOS now requires version 13.7 or later. If you use older versions, the "Join via the browser" option will not display on the Join page.
  • VidyoGateway versions 3.5.x and VidyoReplay versions 3.1.x do not work with VidyoPortal and VidyoRouter version 21.6.x. You must upgrade your VidyoGateway and/or VidyoReplay to version 20.2.0 or later in order to be compatible with VidyoPortal and VidyoRouter version 21.2.x and later. For help with how to upgrade, refer to the Upgrade Steps Lookup Tool article. To obtain the software package you need to download, refer to the VidyoGateway Packages or VidyoReplay Packages article.
