Samba Live 5.35 covers improvements to the Usage Statistics and Telephony section in the Account Center.

In the Content Library section during a meeting, speakers can now conduct Polls anonymously. By enabling this feature, 'voter' information will not be collected in the poll results.

In pursuit of a better mobile app user experience, we've improved the menu design, making it more legible and elegant.

Lastly, we were able to resolve some minor issues across our platform.
