Introducing Share Screen for meeting participants 
Now the meeting participant doesn't need to wait for the presenter to make them as a presenter to share the screen. They can just click on the Share screen option on the left pane to share their screen/application. Following this, we have removed the Make Presenter option for the meeting presenter.  Learn more . 






Introducing Invite Participants in presenter's left menu 
Presenter can now see Invite Attendee option on their left pane to invite participants during the meeting while the other meeting participants share their screen. We have also added  Copy link option to copy the meeting join link to the clipboard.

Enhanced recording quality  
We have made few tweaks to the session recording which includes better recording video quality.
