What’s new:

• When you create a ScreenPal quiz using a YouTube video link, you can now preview the selected video within the Create Quiz dialog. You can also trim the beginning and end of the selected video.

What’s fixed:

• We made improvements to the timing of AI-generated questions within a quiz.

What’s fixed:

• Previously, if a team hosted their content using a subdomain on ScreencastHost.com, and a video had Team User selected for Visibility, team members were redirected to the standard ScreenPal login page to sign in and watch the video. This issue has been corrected. Users can now log in directly from the watch page to view the content.
• We fixed an issue where clicking Copy on the Feature Access Default page only copied the text in the Access URL page. Clicking Copy now copies the entire URL.
• We corrected an issue where embedded ScreenPal videos were not displaying the player controls when viewed on mobile devices.

What’s fixed:

• We fixed an issue where launching the Screen Recorder from Canvas using the ScreenPal LTI plug-in was prompting users to download the app when it was already installed.
• Previously, some Team Owners were unable to click the Download Install option from their Feature Access Default page. This has been resolved.
• We resolved an issue in which some users could not use ScreenPal AI features after upgrading their plan.

What’s new:

• We updated the Due Date control for Google Classroom assignments to use a 12-hour clock, rather than a 24-hour clock, for a better user experience.

What’s fixed:

• We fixed an issue where the Full Screen control on the video player was unavailable for some embeds, including those using our LTI plug-in within Learning Management Systems.
• Previously, when some users attempted to select an LMS Type during setup, an error message was displayed. We have fixed this issue.

• We made improvements to the Subscribe screen within the ScreenPal mobile app so it is easier to view this screen and complete a purchase when using a mobile device.
• We added the ability to control iframe height and width when using ScreenPal oEmbed shortcodes for WordPress.

What’s fixed:

What’s new:

• We added functionality in this release for ScreenPal and Google Classroom. To connect your Google Classroom to ScreenPal, go to Settings > Integrations > My Integrations. Once this setup is complete, you can click the Share button for any video in ScreenPal Hosting and select Google Classroom. From there, you can share the video as an assignment or course material, ask a question about it, or share it as a video announcement.
• With this update, you can also share ScreenPal quizzes to Google Classroom as assignments. To do this open a quiz, go to the Assignment & Settings tab, and click the LMS option to display the Assign to Google Classroom area. When you share a quiz to your class, student quiz scores are automatically synced to your Google Classroom gradebook.

What’s fixed:

• We improved the AI narration in our Slides to Video Generator so it is less repetitive.

What’s new:

• In this release, we made some changes to ScreenPal Analytics for a better experience.
  • Last Visit has been renamed to Last Played on the Analytics page, to better represent the date shown in this column.
  • An arrow is now displayed next to the title of the column you are currently sorting by in the Content Trends table, so you can better determine how the data is currently sorted.

What’s fixed:

• We fixed a bug that prevented some users from being able to convert large slides presentations to videos using the AI Slides to Video Generator.

What’s new:

• In this release, we added a Personal Pronunciation Dictionary. This tool enables those who use ScreenPal AI text-to-speech narration to add the correct pronunciation of specific words, improving the AI narration experience. You can add words to your pronunciation dictionary by going to Settings > Pronunciation Dictionary, or by right-clicking a word in the video Timeline on the Video Settings tab and selecting Add Pronunciation.
• We added functionality to the Online Screen Recorder that allows you to change your webcam orientation and choose the shape of your webcam overlay. Access these tools by clicking the arrow on the Camera button within the Online Screen Recorder to display the Camera Settings menu.  From there, click the Web Cam Settings option.
• You can now select the video size of your recording from the Online Screen Recorder.

What’s new:

• We implemented new functionality in ScreenPal Analytics. Now, when you turn on the Show Only Charted option and select specific videos in the list, ScreenPal updates the URL within your browser. This means you can refresh the Analytics page to view the latest data for the selected videos, and you can bookmark the URL for future reference.
• We added the Explore Templates option to the Create menu. Clicking Explore Templates brings you to the ScreenPal Stock Library, where you can view and select video templates to be used with the Online Video Editor and the Desktop Video Editor.

What’s new:

• We’ve made some improvements to the Preferred Time Zone selector in your Settings. ScreenPal will now automatically detect your time zone using your browser if you have not manually selected a time zone. Additionally, when you are manually selecting your preferred time zone, you can search by common name. Time zones are now grouped by region, and include a custom search function that enables you to search for GMT offset.

What’s fixed:

• Previously, selected items in Manage Viewer Actions on the Share Video tab were not correctly applied to oEmbeds. This issue has been fixed.
• We also fixed an issue where the Save button was not enabled when users attempted to create a new folder from their ScreenPal Library.
