This release is primarily a quality update that implements improvements based on user feedback.

First, it implements changes that will reduce the network bandwidth related to the application with the following changes:

  1. Chromecast and Airplay disabled as default in Collage app settings
  2. If Chromecast is enabled by a user it will only "make a call" to promote availability for 10 seconds (instead of 100 seconds)

We are also seeking to improve the following from some user experience (based on the platform of the sender application):
  1. Screen resolution and image decoding while screen sharing
  2. Audio issues when sharing video

In addition, we have enabled the following features. (These features are only available for the 6000K, 7000XE, 6000K+, 8086MAX, and 7000XT)
  1. Remote connection with a camera connected to the panel. Through the connection to Collage, a Mac or Windows device can access a camera and microphone (the device must also update to v5.4)
  2. The clarity of the screen share will auto-adjust based on network resources. This setting can also be manually adjusted.
