Version 22.1.0

Product Bulletin No. 1366

What's new in this release?

  • VidyoClient 22.1 ships royalty-free
  • This release supports VP8/VP9 only and is royalty-free.
  • This royalty-free version does not require an install license from the VidyoPortal.
  • Since VP9 uses a client library which doesn't consume a license, you no longer need to go to the Admin Portal Advanced Options to configure your system to stop consuming a license.
  • Requires VidyoPortal 22.1 or later only. It does not support versions of the VidyoPortal and VidyoRouter earlier than 22.1.
  • VP9 is automatically set up when you upgrade to this version.
  • H.264 codec no longer supported
  • We now exclusively use VP8/VP9 codec for video and content sharing—VidyoClient SDK will only encode/decode video on tenants that support VP8/VP9.
  • Starting with this release, if a client that supports H.264 codec joins a call with a client that supports VP8/VP9 codec only, there will be no video. It will be an audio-only call.
  • If a VP8/VP9 client joins a tenant that does not support VP8/VP9, the call will be an audio-only call for the client. Other clients in the conference that support H.264 will be able to see video and share content.
  • Enhanced video frame capturing logic for content sharing on Windows and Mac
  • Users of the VidyoClient on Windows and Mac can now experience better quality video conferences as we have greatly enhanced the frame capturing logic for content sharing in these environments.
  • Support for Mac move to ARM processors
  • We have updated Vidyo SDK to support macOS on Apple Silicon. We now have a separate package for all the VidyoClient libraries for Mac ARM architecture.
  • We also updated the 3rd party libraries commonly used in Vidyo SDK plugins.
  • End-to-end content sharing enhancements
  • Multiple enhancements have been added to end-to-end content sharing to provide a better user experience.
  • Resolved issues
  • In this release, we've addressed several issues to improve usability and security.
  • System updates
  • For added security and stability, updates for multiple third-party packages and libraries are included as part of this release.
