Release Notes for 1.1.768
25 October, 2021
New Features
- We have made some updates to the Zoom conference integration allowing users a better experience when using integrated video from the board. Unnecessary buttons have been removed so that the video link is less cluttered and speakers are less distracted as the speaker view no longer appears in a separate window.
Release Notes for 1.1.759
30 September, 2021
New Features
- Users may reference an attendee on the board by using the @ feature in comments, actions and learnings. Entering ‘@’ followed by the first letter of a name into the text box will present a list of attendees for selection. All attendees invited to the board may be referenced regardless of their online status.
- Comments added during the discussion can be ‘liked’ by attendees. Each comment now has a clickable heart and the number of likes will be displayed within the comment box and will be captured on the session summary.
Bug fixes
- The subdomain prefix “www.” is now automatically added to the Lean Coffee Table URL. This has solved the issue of errors during sign in with Microsoft, Slack and Google.

Release Notes for 1.1.715
