If you use the Virtual Classroom tool in BOLT, the flash client will no longer be available after August 18th. The HTML5 Virtual Classroom client will be used for all meetings.
Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox are the recommended browsers to use with the Virtual Classrooms client. When users try to use the Virtual Classrooms client on browsers other than Chrome or Firefox, an alert message indicates that the experience is better on the recommended browsers.
In addition, other improvements will be available in the tool on August 18th.
Within the meeting management experience the left menu now uses tabs, windows are responsive for improved usability on mobile devices, instructors can create repeating meetings, and all meeting assets can be downloaded and played back on a local device.
Additional tool tips have been added to Virtual Classroom to increase usability and assist new users. In Virtual Classrooms, users see connection indicators that display the meeting health and recording status. When using the whiteboard, text boxes are created automatically without needing users to click and drag to create them. Desktop sharing can now be paused and participants continue to see what was shared at the time of the pause.
Course copy workflows have been enhanced, ensuring that upon copying courses that include virtual classrooms, only the classroom's dates require updating in the new course.
