Issues resolved

Bug fixes and improvements effective in StarLeaf Cloud 8.2:

StarLeaf Click-to-Call
18614	Click-to-Call (WebRTC) is not supported on Safari from version 11.2 onwards. This is due to changes in Safari that mean the browser no longer supports plugins

Reference ID	Description
10858	Internet Explorer 11: When you access a user page on the Portal using Internet Explorer 11, the time zone selection box automatically opens
11755	There is a BFCP interoperability issue between Cisco VCS and the StarLeaf Cloud which can cause screen share to be disabled mid call
12040	Using Click-to-Call in the Safari browser on OSX sometimes results in difficulties receiving shared content and dropped calls when the Safari tab is minimized for longer than 10 seconds.
