We have successfully published Version 1.1.0 of the YuJa Video Conference for Android application to the Google Play Store. This release was primarily focused on internal scalability improvements, performance of key functionality, as well as fixes and product improvements.

1. Waiting Room Support – We’ve added additional support for our upcoming Waiting Rooms feature. After our next Video Platform update, users who join a Waiting Room-enabled Video Conference early will be directed to a Waiting Room while they wait for the meeting owner to join.
    
   
2. Removed Mirroring of Back-Facing Camera Currently, the Android application mirrors the back camera of attendees who’ve joined a Video Conference with their camera enabled. We’ve now removed that mirroring to provide attendees a more natural feel when viewing another’s camera.
