Release notes — June 25, 2026

Highlights

• Sort participants by first or last name — Instructors can choose how participant names are sorted and displayed, from a menu on the participant name column. The choice applies across the gradebook, results, and section views.
• YouTube videos on video slides — Video slides now accept a YouTube URL as a third video source, with duration detected automatically and support for a start time.
• Ready-made slide variants — Two preset slides are now available: a pre-filled waiting room slide and an agenda slide.
• Formatted slide deck descriptions — Slide deck previews now render the description with its formatting, so headings, links, and lists display properly.

Accessibility

• Fixed the class invitation login page so its items are structured as a list, addressing an accessibility audit finding.
• Fixed keyboard users on the insights tab being able to focus only the first chat.

Improvements and fixes

• Fixed an AI-graded contribution score changing after a session had already been graded.
• Fixed group talk time being calculated incorrectly in CSV exports for participants who stayed muted and took part only through chat.
• Clarified the tooltip for "show final score to participants" to explain that hiding scores in Breakout does not stop grades passing back to the Canvas or D2L gradebook.
