January Updates: New Stage Layout

It's time to wrap up January and take a look at what's to come in February.

Product updates 🛠

We've started off 2019 with our biggest update (yet).

Stage layout redesign

We've completely changed the layout of our webinar stage. It's a total makeover 💅

We've opted for a more modern and efficient design for the stage layout. The new layout will enable you to:

• Minimize your shared media (PDF and MP4) as you prefer. Now, it's totally up to you how you'd like to manage your stage layout! Minimize, maximize, split your streams in 2 (3, or 4...), one thing that is certain is that you'll have more control 💯
• Have an improved stage grid to display your streams. This means no more lost space in between your streams, it's all optimized to fit the webinar room.
• Have better visibility of your streams and more visual impact on your attendees during your sessions. We're all for more engaging and captivating sessions!

What else? 👀

If you choose not to share your webcam, your avatar will be displayed instead. You won't see a black box when you disable your webcam anymore. Instead, you will see your avatar showing up with a faded background. It's much more fun!

But that's not all, we've also redesigned the stream controls for easier webinar management:
