2020 Releases

VidyoReplay Version 20.2.0: General Availability Release

Product Bulletin No. 1291

What's new in this release?

  • HTML5 player replacing Flash player
  • Starting with this release, VidyoReplay will use an HTML5 player instead of a Flash player to play videos.
  • Flash-based streaming is now being deprecated on most major browsers, and after 2020, it will become blocked by default.
  • All modern, popular browsers support HTML5 videos (including Chrome™, Firefox®, Safari®, and more). Unlike with Flash, you do not have to install any browser plugin or video player. Your browser is your player.
  • HTML5 is lightweight, fast, and takes less CPU time to render content than Flash does.
  • Ability to enable and disable audio-only avatars
  • You now have the ability to enable or disable the avatar that displays when a participant has their video source muted (only when the participant is in audio-only mode).
  • When enabled, if a participant’s video source is muted during a call, an avatar with the first three letters of their name appears on their tile.
  • When disabled, if a participant’s video source is muted during a call, their video tile does not display at all.
  • You can easily configure this setting using the new "Use Avatar" checkbox on the Recorder > Configuration page. 
  • New icon to indicate when all participants have muted video
  • When all the participants in a video call have their video sources muted, the mute camera icon now appears on the full screen.
  • This icon lets you know that the reason you’re not seeing video is because the participants have chosen not to display it rather than because of a video problem.
  • Audio quality improvements
  • We've added support for recordings of up to 48 kHz.
  • System updates
  • For added security and stability, updates for multiple third-party packages and libraries are included as part of this release.
  • Resolved issues
  • In this release, we've resolved a number of issues for improved stability and usability.

  • Record up to twelve hours
