Cloud 8.5

StarLeaf Cloud

In previous Cloud versions, you could join scheduled meetings ten minutes before the scheduled start time and never after the scheduled end time.

You can now join scheduled meetings as soon as they are created and for up to four weeks after the scheduled end time. This is especially useful if you want to join a meeting early to be prepared

BETA Join button on Polycom endpoints

StarLeaf has improved its integration with Polycom endpoints. When a StarLeaf meeting is due to start, the Join button on a Polycom endpoint now lights up.

This feature is in beta and is intended as an early preview for testing. Beta versions of features may not be as stable as those on general release

StarLeaf integrations

If you are a StarLeaf user, you no longer need to enter your username and password to use the StarLeaf Scheduler for Outlook Exchange Server. The scheduler automatically uses your credentials from when you signed into the StarLeaf app for Windows.

From Cloud 8.5 :

• for StarLeaf users who are already using the StarLeaf Scheduler, it will continue to work as normal
• for StarLeaf users who download the StarLeaf Scheduler, it will work without requesting additional credentials
• if you are not yet a StarLeaf user and download the StarLeaf Scheduler, you will be prompted to download the StarLeaf app and sign in here first

The StarLeaf Slack App has been redesigned to improve the user experience when joining a meeting.

StarLeaf for Slack is a Slack integration developed and supported by StarLeaf, which allows users to easily escalate instant messaging sessions to audio and video meetings by simply typing the /starleaf command in Slack.

For more information about using the StarLeaf Slack App, go to Integrating video calling and data sharing into Slack

Organizations that use OneLogin for user management can now integrate that with their StarLeaf account. OneLogin integration is available for organizations with a StarLeaf Enterprise account.

For more information about integrating StarLeaf and OneLogin, go to Configuring provisioning for StarLeaf using OneLogin

Meeting privacy can now be set when you create a StarLeaf meeting using any of the StarLeaf scheduling integrations.

When a meeting is set to private, only the name of the meeting organizer appears beside the word ‘Meeting’ in public spaces such as on the Join button of a room system touchscreen controller.

Using Click-to-Call (WebRTC) 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. This is due to the AppNap feature on OSX that puts background applications to sleep if they are not in the foreground

Click-to-Call 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. For more information on browser support and compatibility, refer to Click-to-Call
