Advanced screen sharing

We've added the ability to share a specific window. Now you can share:

  • Your entire screen
  • A portion of your screen
  • A specific window

Click the screen-sharing icon in the chat room toolbar, then select "Select Window" on the screen-sharing frame and choose a window from the list.

Note! Make sure the window is not minimized, as minimized windows cannot be shared.

Sound improvements

  • The microphone now works in the background mode on the Android Client app — no need to keep the phone active during meetings
  • Ducking, which lowers the sound from other apps when Virola Intercom is on, can now be easily enabled or disabled from Intercom settings
