Smart video layouts

In TrueConf 3.5 for iOS, we’ve updated the layout generation mechanism in the same way as in TrueConf for Android — the layout changes dynamically depending on the number of conference participants, orientation of their video streams and device used.

Support for waiting rooms

In TrueConf Server 5.2.9, we introduced waiting rooms — a feature that allows distributing users to a preliminary queue before joining a video conference. Now waiting rooms are also available in TrueConf 3.5 for iOS.

Updated conference interface

In version 3.5, we’ve added a colored background for users without video and blurred background for users with a non-standard video window size in the conference layout.

User-friendly content viewer

The application will now automatically switch to the content page if a conference participant starts content sharing — desktop sharing or slideshow. If several meeting participants start content sharing at the same time, each video window with content will be displayed on a separate page.

Page with speakers

Earlier in TrueConf 3.2.3 for iOS, we introduced the voice activity detection (VAD) that automatically displayed active speakers on the first layout page. Now such users are displayed on a separate page. Splitting into separate pages with speakers, content, and other participants will simplify navigation in meetings with a large number of users.

Conference information

In TrueConf 3.5 for iOS, we’ve added a window with detailed information about the running conference, which is called by clicking on the conference name.
