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 can't 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 becomes available once the participant has spoken or sent a chat message on the current slide.
  • Support chat in the platform — A support chat is now available in the bottom-right corner throughout Breakout for instructors and participants, outside 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 accessibility audit findings, improving media playback controls, focus management, and keyboard navigation in chat.
  • Session room videos now use standard WebVTT captions, improving compatibility with assistive technology.

Improvements and fixes

  • Rubrics are now sorted consistently across the product.
