Real time reports and chat history
We have added a new feature for admins and moderators. When an user reports another user’s behaviour, the moderator (or admin) online user get an alert in real time.
Get info and history in real time
The alert info about an user is sent to him directly on chat as a new popup. He can also retrieve immediately all history chat about the user who has been reported. Once the report checked, he can easily take a ban action on the abuser if the report data are confirmed.
This is an automatic feature : no needs to enable any extra features in the chat admin panel.
Open Youtube player in a new window
When youtube link is posted, chatters can open the youtube window in a draggable resizeable window.
We have added a new property in your chatadmin/config panel called “youtube_open_in_window“
When checked, the clicked youtube video will open in a new draggable widow.
Full screen and hide keyboard features.
We have added a new feature: the full screen button for chat.
You can enable it in your chat admin / config.
We also added the possibility for hiding keyboards (mobile only) once chat message is sent. By default, chat closes the keyboard, but you can decide to leave it open to keep on sending more texts.
Mute webcam (and prevent to be played again)
In roles, you can give a role the power to mute a webcam : once muted the webcam was closed on all users. However, the user could play the webcam again.
We have added a new parameter in config called muteWebcamPreventsPlayingCamAgain that prevent other users to play his webcam again : his webcam button will be removed from the user list.
Upload image directly to chat
You can upload images into the chat and now even using quick upload images thanks to the new resize on click size feature.
The uploaded image is inserted into the chat input text as a thumb and you can send it to the chat.
Now you can upload the image directly to the chat without inserting the thumb in the input text : you ahve added a new field uploadImageSendDirect in the config.
Once checked, the image you upload goes directly to the chat. This is very useful for mobile chat.
