Clicking the caret on the microphone icon will show two new options:

Use Send HD Audio when you want crystal-clear audio, especially for music or other non-speech sounds.

Use Bluetooth Music Mode when you're co-working and listening to music with Bluetooth headphones. While muted, Tandem will disable your mic to enhance music quality.

By clicking on a teammate's name, you can also adjust their volume (this will only apply to you) — for that one co-worker you love who's just a little loud (or quiet).

Reminders

Never be late to a meeting again!

Go to Settings > Meetings to turn this on (requires Google Calendar integration). A desktop reminder with will pop up before your next meeting.

Auto-Join

Clicking "Auto-Join" will hide the reminder and automatically join that meeting at its start time.

ProTip: You can choose "Remind me for all meetings" to surface these handy reminders and easy-join buttons for external meetings on other platforms like Meet and Zoom.

New Settings

• Setting to restrict teams to single sign on (Google) only - now you can keep your team secure and enforce restrictions like 2FA on your Tandem team
• Ability to disable chat or enable "hear before accept" as a team-wide admin setting
• New Meeting Settings page that teaches you the different meetings features available

Performance:

• Small performance improvements during screenshare and background app usage
• On Windows, turning off "Let my teammates know what I'm up to" and "Get on the same page" in Work App Sharing will give a performance improvement on slower machines
• On Macbook Air (non-M1) machines, we automatically turn off GPU acceleration for improved performance

Other improvements

• Fixed a bunch of minor bugs with in-call chat
• New call data centers located in Japan (asia-northeast1), New York (us-east1), and Mumbai (asia-south1) for faster calls
• Button to get an instant meeting link for meeting on Tandem
• Support for multiple computers from the same user joining the call at the same time
• Clear "waves" if you end up talking to the person
• Lots of small fixes under the hood to call reliability and app usability

We also did a Desktop release (1.6.419) - see notes for that here.

Incoming Chat messages

Incoming chats will temporarily appear next to your call window. You can reply, click incoming links, or images.

Chat Popover

When clicking on the chat Icon you'll now see a Popover window that you can easily close.

You can now get the Tandem Chrome Extension to schedule Tandem meetings directly within Google Calendar.

Teammates can join your meeting link from their calendar in one click!

We also have a few additional features to help you better collaborate during calls when you add our extension.

If you invite someone doesn't have Tandem yet installed, they'll be guided to download it when they click the link. You can also invite and meet with other Tandem teams!
