Livestorm room experience just got better with two exciting improvements!

We’ve boosted our room performance and reduced CPU consumption up to 50% which provide a smoother experience during your webinars and meetings by optimizing loading time and screen share quality.

Our new indicator was also added to allow your hosts and speakers to capture your audience’s attention whenever they join the stage and start speaking up.

Those improvements are available from today on in your event room for you and all your participants.

Feature

If you’re a self-serve customer on our legacy pricing plan, we’re pleased to announce that you can now switch to one of our new plans directly from your Livestorm dashboard! Our new pricing plans are based on usage, which means that you will only be paying for the number of active contacts you need each month.

Where can you find it?

Simply navigate to the Billing page under Account Settings and you’ll be able to switch to our new “Pro” plan or contact our team for more information on the “Business” or “Enterprise” plans in just one click.

Feature

Public events are now out of beta and available to everyone! This feature allows any participant to join your event without entering an email address.

Why use public events?

Public events will facilitate access to your event room allowing you to reach a wider audience. They also open up several new use cases, such as open office hours events, awareness webinars, huddle meetings, and more!

How can you use it?

To use public events, simply go to the Registration settings of your event (located on your Livestorm dashboard), locate the “Email” field, and uncheck the “Required” checkbox or remove it completely.

Feature

If you’ve ever wanted to keep a written record of what has been said or presented during your meetings and webinars, this is now possible with our new transcription app, powered by Google!

This public beta will allow you to easily create meeting recaps and send them for language analysis. It can also be useful for people with hearing impairments to follow along.

How to use transcription?

The event host can enable it for a specific event. Then, in the event room, access it via the Apps menu to open it up on the sidebar.

Once the transcription app is enabled, every participant speaking and using Google Chrome will be transcribed.

You can stop the transcription anytime and download the transcript in the top right corner in .txt or .csv.

Note: you can only transcribe one language at a time, which is set to be the language of the event.
