After confirming the shuffle, all users in the networking area (in calls or not) will be shuffled in new groups of the size indicated.
This feature is useful if you want to create rounds of speed networking. Together with the broadcast messages, you can notify users that a new round is going to start in a few seconds. It's put to you to manually control when to start a new round via this new dialog.
Security improvements on the API
improved
With our focus on security, several improvements were made to our APIs to make sure they are in line with the restrictions on our web app.
New interface to move attendees in real time
new
We have added a new way to move attendees between locations with a single view in real time.
In the manage attendees dialog, we:
  • Changed the drag and drop to
    Move in bulk
    , with the same behavior as before, allowing users to move several users in a bulk mode
  • Added a new option
    Move one by one
    that we explain further in this update

, the operator can select the locations to filter out and then drag users between the different locations selected.

For each participant, you can simply drag it and move to the new location. Once you do it, you will be prompted to confirm the move and if you do it, the user will move immediately to that location. The same screen will be updated and you can keep managing other attendees.
Besides this drag-and-drop functionality, you can also promote users to host/speakers by clicking with the right button of your mouse on the respective user. The following options will be available:
  • Move to
  • Set as host/Remove from host
