What's new?

  • Now you can design live video layouts for users who are not yet in an active board session. Simply expand the "offline" section of the users list and drag the user's icon to the board to add the associated live video. When users join a Haptic video call, they can immediately see their live video in your custom board design.

  • Now you can share audio when sharing your screen. Simply use the Screenshare tool and check the "share audio" button in the bottom left corner when selecting your screen. This is useful when you want to share audio from other applications, local video, or web content.

  • Now you can edit notepad content with other users in real-time with the experimental Collaborative Notepad tool. This has replaced the existing Notepad, and it is useful when you want to see who is updating specific notepad content.

Enhancements

  • As a board owner, now you can clear all chat and clear all comments in the board. You can access this option by clicking your user icon in the upper right and navigating to board settings.

  • Now the Spotlight and Flashlight will be shown to all users when it is activated by the board owner, so you no longer need to be in Follow Mode. Please note that this is now only available to users with "owner" user level access.

  • The default size of the Flashlight and Spotlight tools has been decreased. You can resize the Spotlight via alt + scroll wheel, and your custom size will be remembered.

  • Now there is a board setting to auto-hide the board header. This is useful when you want to take advantage of the entire board height.

  • We have made a few enhancements to make it easier to find your desired slide templates.

    • When selecting a slide template, now you can see your recently used templates by selecting the "recently used" category in the left column.

    • When selecting a slide template, now you can "favorite" your desired slide templates by clicking the star icon in the bottom right corner of any slide template. When the star is highlighted, the template will show up in the "Favorites" category in the left column.

    • When selecting a slide template, now you can sort all slides by frequently used, recently used, and the slide template name.

  • When typing a name to invite a user to the board, we now show the email address in parentheses to ensure that it is clear who you are inviting.

  • As an org admin, now you can access Live Analytics for your account. This gives you a quick visual overview of who is actively working in a Haptic board right now.

  • As an org admin, now you can set default board settings via the admin website.

  • If a user is not showing live video, and now the Active Speaker asset will display the user's avatar.

  • When adjusting your audio level, now you can adjust a voice gate setting. This is useful when you want to remove background noise. Only audio that is louder than the gate setting will be transmitted.

  • For slides that have no background image, now you can specify the slide border color via slide settings.

  • Now you can resize panels. Simply use the dragger handle in the upper left to undock the panel; then you can use the lower right handle to resize the panel. This is useful when you want to view multiple library asset thumbnails or resize the users list when people are sharing live video.

Resolved Issues

  • We resolved an issue when a user updates the alias name so it properly syncs across all users.

  • We resolved an issue with the color of the header icons.

  • We updated the "join call" modal text for clarity.

  • We updated the "mute others" button to say "Mute all."

  • The board header auto-hide cursor "hit zone" is larger, so now it is easier to bring the header back.

  • The board header will no longer auto-hide when the Communicate panel is exposed.

  • When deleting a container asset, we now prompt users "are you sure" and delete all content that is contained within the asset.

  • We resolved a couple of users experience issues when users are in presentation mode.

  • We resolved an issue when adding multiple videos to a container asset.

  • We resolved an issue with the relative positioning of assets in a map board.

  • We resolved an issue when updating guest user permission levels for the board session.
