Canvas term dates now set section dates — When a Canvas course takes its dates from the school's academic term, Breakout now uses those term dates for the section. Sections whose dates need updating are corrected automatically the next time someone opens Breakout from that Canvas course, and a section that closed early reopens.
In-session connection warning — Participants whose internet connection stays unstable during a session now see a connection warning. Only the affected participant sees it, and it dismisses itself once the connection recovers.
Improvements and fixes
Participants who open a room they don't have access to now see a clear message with a "Back to assignment" button.
"Start Quiz" in a demo experience now opens the pre-quiz.
Completed sessions with no audio or transcript are now graded automatically, with zero scores across rubric criteria, instead of staying "Queued for Grading".
Dead-air prompts during a session no longer repeat for the same issue, and now suggest what to check, such as the microphone, playback, or connection.
Accessibility
Captions for Dynamic Intro videos now display in instructor preview and live sessions, for both group and solo variants.
