1. (July 7) Update to Android mobile app (1.2.27)

• Fixed notification issues including call and message notifications that were not appearing reliably.

2. (July 17) New Features & Improvements

• Chat Management:
  • Team admins can now clear the room chat by typing /clear. This helps keep conversations organised and removes clutter quickly.
• Updated Signup Experience
  • Language learners signing up are now prompted to visit an alternate, third party site for additional resources and community support.
• Improved Debugging
  •  Additional logging has been implemented to support more effective debugging and faster issue resolution.

1. (June 25) Restriction on Free sub call-hr

• Free subs are restricted to 5 call-hours/day for 4 users.
• You will get a warning after hour 4 and call will end after 5 hours until the next day.
• This is due to increased cost of operations and to keep unlimited usage and better SLA for our paid subs

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.

2. 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.

3. More logs have been added

• For debugging and monitoring

2.2.1630

1. Fixed some bugs

• Profile picture upload - was failing for certain image types.

2. Restricted billing view to only Admins

• If you don't want someone in your team to look at the Billing screen, make them a Member.

3. Misc logging

• For better visibility for the Tandem team.
• (We appreciate each Call Feedback - the Emojis you see when you Leave a call - as it helps us investigate each issue)
