Product updates

Release notes — July 30, 2026

Highlights

  • Screen sharing on the session results slide — Instructors and teaching assistants can now share their screen on the session results slide, making it possible to walk a class through results live. Participants remain unable to share on this slide, and the end-of-session slide stays locked for everyone.
  • Active participation before advancing — In individual sessions with the AI participant enabled, the next-slide button stays disabled until the participant has spoken or sent a chat message on the current slide.
  • Support chat in the platform — A support chat launcher is now available in the bottom-right corner throughout Breakout for both instructors and participants. It is excluded from the session room and the pre-session quiz.
  • LMS shown on class lists — Class lists and breadcrumbs now show a small Canvas or D2L logo, so instructors can see at a glance which classes are LMS-synced.

Accessibility

  • Addressed findings from an independent accessibility audit, covering media playback controls, focus management, and keyboard navigation in chat.
  • Replaced the legacy slide caption system with standard WebVTT captions for session room videos, improving caption delivery and compatibility with assistive technology.

Improvements and fixes

  • Made rubric sorting consistent across the product.
