Release Notes

Version 2.12 —  March 30, 2023

Overview

This release includes several enhancements to Screen Share and Proctor / Collaboration View, Class Chat, Privacy mode, the Class platform APIs, as well as several other updates and fixes across the product for admin users, instructors, and participants alike.

Zoom SDK Version: 5.13.5

Note: manual close captions have been disabled in this build based on an issue identified in the latest Zoom SDK. We will re-enable this feature upon resolution of this issue. Automatic closed caption (live transcription) functionality is unaffected by this change.

Enhancements

Below are the improvements that are being made available as part of this release:

  • The Class Chat tool has been updated to improve the auto-scroll experience in sessions where many messages are being sent in rapid succession
  • The Class app can now be maximized while sharing screen to allow for managing session activity and shared app content (e.g. Powerpoint) at the same time
  • Instructors can now use Proctor / Collaboration View and Share Screen at the same time to allow for more fluid collaboration with session participants
  • Participants who are using privacy mode will now have their video feed disabled when session recordings are started to ensure that their video is not captured in the recording
  • Class users can now be required to log in from the Class launch page to limit the need for in-session verification. This configuration is managed from the Class admin portal.
  • Class users will now see a dedicated tab for all session recordings, including those that are initiated outside of a scheduled session time, from the Class LTI home screen
  • Several improvements have been made to the Class platform APIs, including better support for scheduling deferred classes, updating classes, and deleting classes. Full details can be found at https://developer.class.com.
