🤝 Guests in multiple events
Good news for those running events with collaborators. The same guest can now be added to one event of each user in your account. Previously, it was just one event in the whole account.
🛂 Restricted domain sign-up

Users under a restricted domain will not be able to create their own accounts or be invited to accounts outside of the main one, excluding Guest access. Available for Enterprise and Institution licenses with at least 10 additional users.

Moderator's announcements
New features
📣Moderator's announcements
This may have happened to you during your last meeting: The session was running, participants kept asking one question after another in Q&A and then you suddenly needed to share some important information with your whole audience. We are sure you somehow managed to solve that. Anyway, now it’s easier than ever before, you can use the moderator's announcements!
This feature allows you to push a notification at the top of the Participant mode with a message for everyone to see. We also support links as part of announcements, so feel free to use this feature to share various URLs with your audience. Available for Teacher/Professional and above plans.
Learn how to create announcements
🔗 New shareable link to invite your team
If you are an account administrator, there is a new way to invite your team easily - by using a shareable link. There is some customization available based on your preference, e.g. you can specify the email domains that are allowed to use the link. This feature is available for Corporate+ and Department+ plans.
Small improvements & fixes
