This Beta introduces several key enhancements to improve accessibility, flexibility, and session management. This update includes the ability to control a session from an iPad, giving moderators more mobility and control. Additionally, device management integration, and file access on Android receivers enhance usability across devices. These updates ensure a more seamless and adaptable experience for all users.
What’s new
Device Management Ready
The application now supports integration with remote device management systems, such as Radix, enabling IT administrators to remotely access, configure, and monitor receiver settings across managed devices. This capability streamlines large-scale deployments, simplifies updates, and enhances troubleshooting efficiency for enterprise and education environments.
You can find the technical documentation here: Remote Settings API Documentation. This document includes information on the necessary AIDL files along with their download links. You can also download them here:
Once you start with the integration with that system, you’ll need the password to use the interface.
Control a session on iPad
moderators can now control a session directly from an iPad, allowing them to move around the room while maintaining full control. This update enables those in control to invite users to share, stop sharing when needed, and even remotely control the main display, providing greater flexibility and ease of use during sessions.
Enhanced grid control
Teachers and moderators can now manage the grid view more effectively by making users full-screen or minimising them directly from their own device. This new feature eliminates the need to approach the main display, offering greater convenience and flexibility during sessions.
Native File Browser Support for Android Receiver
The Android receiver now supports access to the native file browser, if one is available on the device. This enhancement provides a more streamlined and familiar experience for file selection. If a native file browser is not present, the receiver will seamlessly revert to the existing process.
