News & Updates
May, 2021
We have released new features for chats, allowing participants to like messages and administrators and moderators can view of a toplist of the most liked messages. There are two new import types for: seminar participants and breakout participants. This will give administrators full control over who joins which seminar or breakout session. We also updated our email reporting with open, delivery and bounce statuses for each individual email.
Full HD live streams with ultra low latency
This week we are releasing the first version of our new streaming service. It uses the same back end as Twitch and lets us deliver full HD live streams with very low latency. The standard latency is 10 seconds, much lower than what for instance Vimeo is able to deliver. Switching to low latency mode will let you push the latency below 2 seconds if the stream is correctly configured from the studio.
The new type of live stream also has higher security, let you view recordings before the live stream has ended, provides global RTMP ingestion and allows the studio to send live subtitles. We also updated our video player to increase the probability of auto-playing without muting.
Please contact us if you are interested in trying out the new low latency streams!
New user interface for video meetings
We have updated the user interface for all video meetings in InvitePeople, including 1:1 meetings, workshops and broadcasts. Not only does it look better and is a lot easier to use, it handles more participants with cameras on better and has a pre call interface that let participants change their camera and microphone settings before joining 1:1 meetings.
The InvitePeople team have been using the new user interface for our internal meeting rooms for some time, and it will soon be replacing the old meeting rooms for all events. Please contact us, if you’d like to test or use the new interface for an event before it becomes generally available.
InvitePeople in German and Norwegian
We are currently translating InvitePeople into German and Norwegian. The participant views are 99% translated and we would love it if you wanted to run an event with any of these languages. Contact us if you want access to German or Norwegian for your event.
Granular monitoring of Microsoft Teams meetings
We created a Microsofts Teams Bot, that can automatically join the 1:1 meetings booked in InvitePeople. The bot will feedback information on who joins the meetings and when, so that administrators can monitor meetings and get statistics on the actual length and participants of the meetings.
If you are using, or want to use our Microsoft Teams integration, please contact us for more information on the monitoring bot.
