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.

What’s new:

• We updated the Heatmaps table on the Content Trends page for a video within ScreenPal Analytics to provide a better user experience. The table now expands to the full width of the page and certain columns have been adjusted to display the full value within them.
• 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.

What’s new:

• There is now an Add to channel icon available when you select a video to manage in your ScreenPal Hosting Library. This icon is displayed in the top right corner of the page, next to the Share menu. Clicking Add to channel opens the Add Content to Channels dialog, enabling you to search for or select the applicable channel.

What’s new:

• If you are a member of a Team Plan, you can now transfer ownership of a quiz to another team member. Simply open the quiz in ScreenPal Hosting, click the Users icon in the top right, and then select the action you’d like to take: Share Quiz, Duplicate Quiz, or Transfer Quiz Ownership.

What’s fixed:

• We fixed an issue where some users upgraded to a Solo Max plan and the ScreenPal AI tools were disabled.

What’s new:

• Owners and Administrators of a ScreenPal Team Plan can now configure the default settings for ScreenPal content embedded in their organization’s learning management system (LMS). Admins can go to Settings > Permissions and use the LMS Settings area to configure default player behaviors and deny or allow team members to override these settings.
• ScreenPal quizzes that require quiz-takers to enter information prior to taking the quiz are now displayed with a video thumbnail overlay. This thumbnail overlay helps to distinguish them from other quizzes. Users can click the play button on the quiz and will then be prompted to enter the information specified by the quiz creator.
