? Security Enhancements
Your safety is always our priority. Here's how we're strengthening security in our latest update:
Improved VPN and Proxy Detections: We've enhanced our model to detect and restrict VPNs and proxies with Geo-restrictions, ensuring your meetings remain secure and free from unauthorized access. While this strengthens security for your business, users in other contexts—like those looking for the best VPNs for web scraping—may find alternative tools more suited to their needs
? General Updates
- Improved Analytics for React Native: We've made your React Native calls smarter! Get a clearer picture of what's going on with improved insights.
- Instagram RTMP Improvements: We've fine-tuned Instagram RTMP to work better than ever. These improvements mean that your live streams on Instagram will be smoother and of higher quality, making your broadcasting experience even more enjoyable.
? Bug fixes
- Resolved an issue causing landscape video problems between the Firefox browser and native Android SDK.
- Fixed an issue where the video stream orientation was incorrect for users utilizing the Firefox browser on iOS SDK.
- Resolved a bug where the system microphone remained active after a user exited a call.
