Release notes — June 18, 2026

Highlights

  • Faster live captions — Live captions now appear while someone is still speaking, rather than after they finish, so transcription feels much closer to real-time closed captioning.

Accessibility

  • Improved contrast on the conversation map chart: each bubble now has a darker border in its own colour.
  • Improved keyboard and screen reader handling of pre-work PDF scrolling, the next-slide button, and scrolling on the grading criteria page.

Improvements and fixes

  • Chat messages sent during a session now count toward attendance, and participants can send chat messages to the AI participant.
  • Improved role handling for teaching assistants in LMS-connected sections.
  • Participants can reliably view their session results.
  • Participants in invoiced sections now see the correct next step before starting a session.
