Digital Samba 594

Available from 23 August, 2024

Explore the latest enhancements in Digital Samba 594! Developers can now start and stop transcription of live sessions via the REST API. Also new permissions have been introduced to give precise control over which in-room users can manage the transcription feature. We've added options to auto-start transcription and new endpoints for permanently deleting room resources like transcripts, recordings, chat messages, or archiving / unarchiving recordings. Team owners can now regulate access to sensitive data with new role-based settings. Inside the room, moderators can manually control transcription for greater flexibility, and we’ve streamlined the recording process by removing unnecessary notifications. Dive into these updates and see how they can simplify and secure your virtual sessions.

Digital Samba Embedded

Dashboard and API

New Features

• Added ability for developers to start / stop transcription of live sessions through the REST API.
• Added a role permission to control which users are able to start / stop the session transcription.
• Added a room setting to control if session transcription starts automatically.
• Added an endpoint to permanently delete any concrete type of room resource - delete all transcripts, summaries, recordings, questions, chat, polls. Each of these listed room resources can be deleted separately.
  
  
  
  
• Added a REST API endpoint to permanently delete all stored resource for a room - recordings, questions, chat messages, polls, transcripts, summaries.
• Added new REST API endpoints to be able to archive and retrieve archived recordings. Archived recordings are deleted completely 30 days after they are archived.
• Added a new REST API endpoint to allow retrieving room statistics for the current billing period.
• Added a dashboard team setting which team owners can use to control which roles have access to sensitive data like transcripts, recordings and content libraries.
  
  
  
  
• Added room setting to control room expiration. After the specified UTC time is reached, then nobody will be able to join the room and room will be auto-deleted maximum 3 minutes after the specified time.
• If no dataset was produced in the room for a particular datatype (eg QnA, Chat, Transcript or Summary), then we do not offer a download option for this datatype in dashboard.

In-Room

New Features

• Added ability for moderators to start/stop transcription manually from inside the room. That gives better control compared to auto-transcription which transcribes always from the moment the session starts.
• Introduced a new "This room is being transcribed" badge, for instant clarity.
• Removed unnecessary start recording notification from the recordings.
  
  

Fixed

• Fixed an issue in the dashboard where a negative duration was shown while recording is still being processed.
