Templates include type and size of the conference and the list of invited participants. With conference templates, it is much easier to schedule your meetings: administrators do not need to edit multiple parameters and add participant manually.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3\" style=\"padding-top: 5px;\">WebRTC: Microsoft Edge and Safari Supported<\/h2>\n<p>TrueConf WebRTC application now supports Microsoft Edge v. 40+, so Microsoft Edge users can become full-fledged participants of video conferences.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, iOS 11+ users can now attend TrueConf web conferences without taking the podium.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"4\" style=\"padding-top: 5px;\">New Server Guest Page<\/h2>\n<p>Check out our new fabulous guest page design!

Security admins can access TrueConf Server control panel (including Reports section), but are restricted from any actions on the server. We\u2019ve created new role to enable administrator assistants to track actions on the server and monitor the security of video conferencing network.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, when TrueConf Server was deployed in the company\u2019s domain network, TrueConf Server Admin group was automatically created by default, granting its users full access to server administration. Now, when installing TrueConf Server 4.4, TrueConf Security Admin will be automatically created in the domain network.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"7\" style=\"padding-top: 5px;\">New Default Client App Ver. 7.3<\/h2>\n<p>In July, we released new TrueConf 7.3 client applications. Now we recommend TrueConf 7.3 for Windows as a default video conferencing application for Windows. TrueConf 7.3 features and functions are described <a href=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/blog\/news\/trueconf-7-3-windows-major-update.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"8\" style=\"padding-top: 5px;\">TrueConf Client 6.6.1 Update<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve updated TrueConf for Windows legacy application to version 6.6.1. The main new features include conference scheduling directly from the application, pasting images from the clipboard to the chat, speaker highlighting, automatic return of disconnected participants and much more. We\u2019ll tell more about TrueConf Client 6.6.1 update in a separate article.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"9\" style=\"padding-top: 5px;\">New Conference Management Interface<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve added a new panel with additional conference details on the Conference List page. This panel allows you to start, edit, or delete selected conference and displays its main parameters: CID, size, type, connection link, and the list of invited conference participants. Server administrators no longer need to open the conference settings page to view conference details.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/4.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-ZK9ZcBmU\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9231\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/4-690x357.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"690\" height=\"auto\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/4-690x357.png 690w, https:\/\/trueconf.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/4-768x397.png 768w, https:\/\/trueconf.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/4-1024x529.png 1024w, https:\/\/trueconf.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/4-290x150.png 290w, https:\/\/trueconf.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/4.png 1364w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"10\" style=\"padding-top: 5px;\">Other Useful Features<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The server control panel now features Preferences section, where each administrator can save preferable server settings according to their needs. Here you can select language and time zone to display time in the control panel interface for you.<\/li>\n<li>Administrators can limit the channel bandwidth for individual users and even entire groups, which allows monitoring traffic consumption and prevents from overloading weak channels of conference participants.<\/li>\n<li>The conference page now has a convenient \u201cAdd to Calendar\u201d button, by clicking on which users can add events to their calendars.<\/li>\n<li>Server administrators can now invite users to scheduled running conferences by ID, alias, or email.<\/li>\n<li>Users can now connect to running conferences by calling a host who participates via browser. New feature makes it easier to manage the conferences and prevents moderators from adding users manually.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>You can view TrueConf Server 4.4 changelog and compare it to you current version <a href=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/products\/server\/changelog.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet TrueConf Server 4.4, the most important update of this year!
