    For the YuJa Software Capture for Apple, this update includes significantly reduced times for processing recordings, the option to resize selected screen areas for recordings, real-time status updates for sessions, and a new setting to enable or disable your iPhone’s camera as a video source.

    2. Configure Peripheral Devices for the Hardware Hub in Our Enhanced Modal
      We’ve updated the Hardware Hub’s configuration modal to offer a more intuitive layout that displays all sources, such as NDI cameras, and their connection status.
