We added the option for Theater mode in the Feature controls section of Admin Portal. Theater mode allows one-to-many streaming and up to 100 people in a live session.
-
When inviting people to a Theater mode room, you can categorize them as contributors or viewers. Contributors are able to speak, show their webcam, stream video, and screen share; viewers are able to see and hear everything, but are muted with no webcam video.
-
Known issue: Currently, a room can either be in Theater mode or in Do not disturb mode, but not both at the same time.
-
We added a Dashboard where you can view all your account details in one place. We also added tabs across the top of the Admin Portal window, so you can quickly navigate to Live rooms, Groups, and Room credits (for credit managers) or Feature controls (for permissions managers).
-
The Global search tool lets you quickly search by email address or room URL.
-
Credit managers can access a Live rooms page from the top navigation. This page displays a list of live rooms on your account, and shows how many participants are in each live room.
-
Credit managers can access a Groups page from the top navigation. This page lists all your organization's groups, their associated rooms, and their invitees. Credit managers can create and edit user groups, and can invite or remove these groups from rooms.
-
All members of a group will inherit any permissions that have been assigned by Evercast Support to that group, such as the ability to invite new people, record sessions, and clear the room chat.
-
Group invitees will receive email notifications when their group has been invited to a room or assigned a role. When new participants are added to a group, they will receive an invite email with details about that group's access.
-
Permissions managers can now manage feature controls on a room-specific basis as well as configure default settings that apply to all rooms within an organization.
-
One email address can now be associated with roles for multiple organizations.
-
The Room credits screen now includes fields for project name and PO number.
-
Credit managers can now export room information into a CSV file.
