*Page Naming & New Page Navigator - Allows for better organization and navigation of the VyewBook. To name a page, use the dropdown to navigate to the page you want to name, then type in the textbox at the top of the Page Navigator. You can also rearrange pages by dragging. *Video Webcam - Each user can broadcast their own video from to the rest of the people in a VyewBook Meeting. This feature is not yet fully tested but should work for most people. To use, click the "webcam" icon in the "Voice & Webcam" pod. *Push-To-Talk Audio - Now you can talk amongst your workgroup by pressing the "Push To Talk" button. Whoever pushes the button can speak into their computer microphone. Anyone connected to the VyewBook Meeting will be able to hear them through their computer speakers. Any in the meeting (who is a collaborator, moderator, or owner) can also press the "Push To Talk" button at anytime to cut in and speak for themselves. *Private Chat Groups - Previously, private chat was only between 2 people. Now multiple people can be in private chat groups. *User Statuses - Users can now set their status such as, "Raised hand" telling the presenter they have a question, "Slow Down" notifying the presenter he/she is going too fast, etc. This is useful during larger webinars.Bug Fixes
*Email Auto-complete - In the invitations, auto-complete from your Email Addressbook was broken when using the keyboard. This is now fixed. *Stamp Tool Loading Bug - The Stamp tool sometimes crashed or took a very long time to load certain libraries. This has been resolved.September 2007
