Canada Zone European Union Zone YuJa Enterprise Video Platform
We have successfully pushed an update to all Enterprise Video Platform instances residing in Canada and the European Union. Zones residing in the United States, Australia, the Middle East, and Asia will be updated later this week. The highlights for this update include a new visual search experience with improved search capabilities, an update of the Video Editor theme to a dark theme, IMS Caliper Analytics support for YouTube videos, direct links to video quizzes will record grades for users, performance report tracking for the Video Editor, more accurate tracking of unique video views using IP address, enhanced screen reader capabilities, overall UI enhancements, and much more.

 Previously, we added additional data with our third-party Caliper Analytics integration to help administrators make more informed decisions about their content uploaded to the Video Platform. We’ve now expanded our analytic capabilities to include video viewership metrics for uploaded YouTube content, monitoring the following information:
 - Points on the video timeline viewers play the video.
 - Points on the video timeline viewers pause the video.
 - Specific points selected on the video timeline.
6. Visual Analytics Overview Now Offers New Directional Summary Cards With Integrated Directional Graphs

 Previously, the option to create a list of approved URLs was hidden inside the Close Open Tabs and Disable New Tabs restrictions. We have now added the Website Access feature inside the Proctoring Restrictions to allow an approved list of URLs to be accessed during an assessment.
4. Enhanced Proctoring Restriction UI When Selecting Proctoring Platforms
 Some quiz restrictions apply exclusively to specific platforms, like the Desktop Lockdown App. Verity will notify those creating a proctored assessment of any disabled restrictions when they select an alternative platform, such as the Mobile Lockdown App.

 Proctors reviewing assessments can send recordings to any specified email address.

YuJa Himalayas Data Archiving Platform Update – “Douglas Fir”
Australia Zone Canada Zone European Union Zone Middle East Zone YuJa Himalayas Archiving Add-On
We have successfully pushed an update to all YuJa Himalayas Data Archiving Platform instances residing in Canada, Australia, Middle East, Asia and the European Union. This update provides our transition towards importing Microsoft Teams recordings with the YuJa app and new thumbnails for archived content.
1. Transitioning Towards Importing Microsoft Teams Recordings With YuJa’s Microsoft Teams App
  Previously, we provided two options to import Microsoft Teams recordings—a server-side Microsoft Teams API integration and our client-side YuJa app. However, the API integration had limitations regarding imports, restricted access to managing them, and weak support from Microsoft.
