Samba Live 5.24

Available from: 03 October 2021

Our latest update introduces new options to create custom roles and permissions in the admin settings. We also updated our webhook implementation to support basic authentication and fixed some minor bugs in our mobile app.

Account Center

 New Features

• Added an option to create a new Custom Role in the Admin Settings and a new "Discoverable by Audience" setting at the bottom of the Permissions matrix. If "Discoverable by Audience" isn't enabled, users under the Custom role will not be seen by Audience users in the Participants list. Note: Custom role is not yet supported in Breakout Rooms or our Mobile app.
• Added an "Allow to export chat history" option in the Admin Panel Permissions. Admins can now decide which user types may download chat history.
• Added a new checkbox labeled "Reply privately to questions in the Q&A panel" in the Admin Panel. Checking this option enables answering privately in the Q&A panel by default.
• Added an option in the Service Plan settings to set the video quality to HD by default.
• Enabled two new permissions—"Allow to Ask Questions" and "Allow to Answer Questions"—which are mutually exclusive for now. 
• Added new "Recording Ready" notification webhook. 
• Updated webhook implementation to support basic authentication.
• The app now supports recordings started by the same user in different rooms. 

 Fixed

• Fixed attendance report issue where a non-participating user could be shown as participating.

In-Room

 New Features

• Updated the tooltip "Ask user to unmute" so that it's personalized with the user's name.

 Fixed

• Resolved issue wherein special characters were not displaying correctly in the Q&A panel.
• Resolved issue wherein the user's name and profile picture were not displaying correctly in the chat panel.

Mobile

 Fixed

• Fixed an error by which the app mistakenly alerted some users about not being connected to the internet. 
• Resolved issue wherein the content shared by a speaker was not showing correctly for a mobile user.
• Fixed an error occurring when an Android user relaunched the app while in a breakout room. If the Speaker has stopped breakout rooms, users will now rejoin the main room, as expected. 
• Resolved issue wherein the whiteboard was not working properly on a first run in a new room.
