November Update: Design Improvements and Email Updates

We’re steadily working our way through Thanksgiving leftovers, so that must mean that it’s time for Livestorm’s monthly update! November was stuffed with neat updates, new hires and cool changes. So get ready, we’re about to fork over all of the details.

Product Updates 🦃

Here are all of the updates we brought you in November.

Design improvements

This month, you might have noticed some subtle changes to our app design. We’ve improved the design consistency, and have made changes to the contrast for better visibility. Our biggest goal for Livestorm has always been to maintain the integrity of our design. These changes were made with that goal in mind.

Date variable in emails

Our latest update was highly requested, and we're thrilled to deliver! You can now add the session date to your emails with a new variable: Webinar date.

Before, when you created a custom email from scratch or when you edited a default email, you weren't able to insert the session date.

Now, simply insert the variable to add the date and time of your webinar session.

We explain the best way to do this in our lovely help docs.

Scheduled meetings beta

Scheduled meetings are now in private beta, and we’d love for you to try them out! You can join the waiting list here.

Livestorm News 🍁

We’re still growing at a steady rate! Livestorm is on the lookout for more talent.

Hiring

We’re thrilled to wish a warm welcome to Jean-Baptiste, who is joining our sales team for the french market. He has a passion for Neapolitan pizza, and loves playing golf when he’s not making killer deals.

Livestorm teammates produce music for fun, snowboard on vacation, have extensive knowledge of plants, and make delicious (and sometimes vegan) crepes. Want to join our team?

We’re looking for:

• QA Engineer
• Senior Front-End Engineer (GraphQL)
• Product Manager
• Senior Back-End Engineer (Ruby on Rails)
• Traffic Manager (SEA, SEO)

You can find all of our job posts on our site.

Coming up next 🥧

Here’s what we’re working on now:

Email statuses for custom emails

Currently you can see email statuses for the default livestorm emails, but you can’t for the custom emails. But that’s about to change! Soon you’ll be able to see email statuses for your custom emails.

Livestorm quality test

The team is hard at work building a way for you to test your connection quality before your meetings and webinars.

That's a wrap for November! We’ll check back in next month but in the meantime, happy streaming.🖖
