Application/Platform Enhancements

• Applied multiple system optimizations that will improve the WebCam and Screen-
  Sharing experience for any users having low bandwidth/connectivity issues. Video
  streams that are not actively being viewed will be paused. The quality of the video
  streams will also be optimized. 12556, 12686

• Now using browser built-in components for WebCam and Screen-Sharing for better
  performance. 12383

• Improved the “Zoom” function for Screen-Sharing. 12092

• Large Session placement on servers will be optimized to allow more resources for all
  Sessions and greater Session stability. 12610, 12463

• Quick Poll answers are now passed in a way to increase application performance,
  especially in Large Sessions. 12486

• Co-Hosts, who do not have a Host seat (and are assigned within the Session Setup),
  now have the ability to create Assessments. 12221

• A warning is now issued if a Company Admin/Co-Admin attempts to delete a “Session
  Template” (that is used during API Session creation). 11227

• Multiple platform optimizations have been made to eliminate the chance of having a
  “split session” (where some Attendees appear to be in a different Session instance)
  11122, 11671.

• Multiple platform optimizations have been made to have “zero-downtime” for several
  system components, improving the platform health and stability. 11160, 11161

• Addition a WebRTC real-time performance monitoring system to allow for more
  performance benefits in the future. 12555

Application Fixes and Updates

• Feedback - Applied a fix so that existing Feedback is automatically cleared if an
  Attendee is promoted to Co-Host (or demoted from Co-Host to Attendee). 7681

• Attendee Menu Options - Applied fix so that when a Host is not in the Main Room,
  they will still see all Attendee Menu Options, even if the Attendee is in the Main Room.
  8289

• Error: “Unable to load CDN resources”. This error, which occurred in a very edge case,
  was fixed. 12700

• Polls - Applied a fix so that if a Host starts a Poll, then a Co-Host saves changes to a
  secondary Poll, the first Poll will remain open and other Polls can still be started.
  12372

• WebCam – Applied a fix so that if a user has their WebCam turned on, then lose
  internet connectivity temporarily, the WebCam will auto-recover when connectivity
  is restored. Only affected macOS and Chromebook users. 12705
