Wizywebinar Version 576 Date: 11.12.2023

Improvements

• Added a new feature, Anonymisation, that allows to anonymise roles in sessions. When enabled, the feature conceals usernames (of Speakers or Audience, depending on the anonymised role selected in settings) and applies blurring to video streams, as well as modifies audio streams to hide the speaker's identity while keeping their message comprehensible.
  How-to:
  1. When scheduling a webinar, go to Advanced Options 
  2. Proceed to the Access tab
  3. Tick off the option Anonymisation and choose which role should be anonymised: Audience or Speakers (or both).
     
     
• Improved the logic so that a user is notified about a weak connection with the relevant 'weak connection' toast notification in case the system detects a significant packet loss.
