Key Improvements

Screenshot and Screen Recording Protection
— The new feature is enabled via configuration and is available to administrators only.
System-level restrictions have been implemented, considering system permissions. When attempting to take a screenshot, the application window will not be displayed in the screenshot.

Calls

— You can now communicate with other participants via chat during a call. This allows sharing information, links, or simply commenting in real time.
— Improved behavior when switching between “Webinar” and “Regular Call” modes.
The switching behavior has been fixed: now, when disabling webinar mode, all participants remain in the conference without disconnections.
Role transformation logic has been implemented: when switching from webinar to regular call, the creator retains their role, and all other participants become presenters.
— Guests joining an empty conference will no longer be forcibly disconnected from the call — they will remain waiting for the first authorized user to join the conference.
— Protective mechanisms added:
If the number of participants exceeds the allowed limit, disabling webinar mode becomes unavailable (the button is deactivated).

Chats

— Added the ability to change the order of pinned chats in folders and archive. This option is available if there are two or more chats in the folder or archive.
— Pinned chats are now visually separated from others — using color and a divider line.
— Deleting an irrelevant chat folder is now easier — a “Delete Folder” button has been added to the editing screen.

Notifications

— Added the ability to choose a notification sound.

Key Fixes

General Call Fixes

Instability of group calls and unexpected participant disconnections
— Previously, participants were occasionally dropped from group calls, and rejoining was impossible. Group calls now work stably, without unpredictable disconnections or re-entry limitations.

Incorrect aspect ratio when joining a group call
— When joining a group call, some users' camera video was displayed in a distorted format — with cropped edges, resembling a 4:3 aspect ratio. After manually turning the camera off and on, the picture returned to the normal 16:9 format. The issue has been fixed — now the aspect ratio is always set to default unless changed manually.

Bot did not send the meeting recording
— Previously, when attempting to start a recording during a call, users would see a recording start notification, but no recording was actually made, and the bot did not send the final file. This issue has been fixed — you will now reliably receive the recording of your meeting.

Participant limit increased to 100
— When creating a group call or adding participants manually, the application previously limited the number of participants to 30. Once this limit was reached, the add button became unavailable, and an error appeared: “Maximum number of participants selected.” Group calls now support up to 100 participants.

Switching to built-in devices during a call
— When using wireless headphones during calls, there could be spontaneous switching back to the built-in microphone and speakers. Now external devices are reliably retained at the start of the call and used until the end of the session without unexpected switching.

Chats

Commands with underscores are now recognized correctly

— Previously, there was an issue processing commands containing the underscore (_) character. When entering such a command in chat, it was not recognized completely — the system would cut the command off at the first underscore. This issue has been fixed, and commands are now recognized correctly even with underscores.

Authorization

“Entry point not found” error when launching the app
— Fixed an issue where the error “Entry point not found” appeared when launching the application.
