Version 18.5.0

What's new in this release?

  • Add legacy endpoints to Your favorite contacts
  • If you often use the VidyoConnect application to call the same legacy H.323/SIP/telephony endpoints, you can now add those endpoints as favorite contacts in your VidyoConnect Contacts list.
  • Guest user access to digital stethoscopes
  • The digital stethoscope feature has been available since VidyoConnect version 18.3.0 and VidyoPortal version 18.3.0.
  • Previously, the digital stethoscope feature was restricted to registered users, whereby patient-side users (a.k.a., "stethoscope owners”) were required to be signed in in order for remote physicians to access the stethoscope audio during a VidyoConnect call. Now, both patient-side users and physician users are allowed to access the stethoscope feature as guest users.
  • Important bug fixes
  • In this release, we've addressed some important issues to improve usability and reliability.
  • System updates
  • For added security and stability, updates for multiple third-party packages and libraries are included as part of this release.
