The files will be accessible in a side panel which will also display your account information, the version number of the file, and comments or chats attached to the file. In order to use this feature, you will need to add *.evercast.us to your company’s firewall list — click here for more information.

We re-architected our room lobby to increase its efficiency and stability. In the new lobby design, the settings for the webcam, microphone, and speakers are now located within the popdown menu for each item.

We upgraded our server architecture to increase system stability and to expand support for global low latency. In this new architecture, rooms "hibernate" when not in use. The first participant to join an idle room will experience a longer load time while the system starts the server; however, additional participants who join the room will experience a faster load time than previous versions of Evercast.

We added a "camera off" icon to the participant thumbnails.

We improved the way our software renders the draw tool controls.
