May 30, 2025 updates

Server updates (Clients still at 2.2.1630)

1. Camera Preference Fix:

  • Fixed an issue where the selected camera wasn’t remembered when the camera was turned off
  • It now keeps your last choice.
  1. New feature: Send messages to Slack directly from a Room.

(You may need to Reload your Tandem desktop to see this feature)

  • You can now Send to Slack in a Room from the chat on the Main Window (not the Call Window).
  • Your Tandem Desktop must be connected to Slack via Preferences>Slack. See instructions in the Preferences>Slack desktop screen.
  • When Sending to Slack from a Room, the user will be asked to confirm the identity of each user in the Room who is not connected to the Slack workspace. (You can skip this one time step by connecting users one by one to Slack by using Direct Msg on Tandem Chat.)
  • Once all users are connected to Slack, a direct Slack message will be sent to each user.
  • If there is an error linking to the Slack workspace, it is most probably due to rate limiting by Slack, you will get a message saying "Tandem faced an issue connecting with Slack, this is probably a temporary issue, please try again in a few minutes" but the Send will go through to the users that are connected.
  1. More logs have been added
  • For debugging and monitoring

Drag & Drop, Mobile Web Meetings & In-Browser Guest Mode!

Drag & Drop

You can now "Drag & Drop" your teammates into calls, meetings, rooms or spaces! This will send the person you're trying to add a call request that they can accept to join the call, or decline if they're busy.

In-Browser Guest Mode

Your external guests can now join Tandem meetings in "Guest mode" directly from their browsers, sign-up is no longer required!

Mobile Web Meetings

Your teammates and guests can now join Tandem calls directly from their mobile web browsers. The Tandem mobile app is no longer required to take your calls on the go! For a better call experience, we still recommend downloading Tandem for iOS or Android.

Raise Hand Widget

By popular demand, the "Raise Hand" widget is here! This new meeting widget enables you to add yourself to an organized list. This is particularly useful if you take turns speaking during a meeting, or for Q&A sessions. Once you're done speaking, hit the "Done" button, and you'll be removed from the list.

Mobile Portrait Mode

Videos of teammates that join from the Tandem mobile app or Mobile Web are now displayed in "Portrait Mode".

Hybrid Spaces!

And in case you missed it - Hybrid Spaces are now available! Hybrid collaboration can be challenging. Remote teammates suffer from the "second-class citizen problem" - feeling excluded from spontaneous brainstorms, magic moments, and the creative energy of the office. Hybrid Spaces bridge the gap between remote and in-person teammates to make hybrid work the best of both worlds. Spaces are made up of multiple kiosks distributed across your office (open floor, meeting rooms, lounges...) to enable remote mobility and seamless interactions. Learn more about Hybrid Spaces!

Other Improvements

  • Teams with kiosk devices now have the ability to add kiosks to a meeting from the team list.
  • We've made some improvements to our video grid layout engine.
  • We now support multiple domains for teams.
  • And finally, stay tuned for our new iOS and Android apps with bug fixes and performance improvements.
