  • Positioning moved for toasts.

  • Refreshing of your MGC list (my group chat) includes flash animation

• Filters.

  • Spacing of the icons created so clearer to read.

  • Coloring of icons when a specific filter is activated.

• MGC layout

New look feel MGC

Our My Group Chat (MGC) screen is being upgraded from a look/feel standpoint.

Some grabs are below.

This will be live next week for Users and the ORG point of view.

Video and picture previews

Our engineering team is working on enhancing our new video and picture capability. This means creating automatic 'preview' versions in real-time.

Below are the tools that are being integrated into the next release.
