Added support for a password on Mira Connect to prevent unauthorized access. Users can manually lock the touch panel while using it and also set a timeout after which the system will be locked. When the room is powered off, the touch panel will lock automatically if a password is defined.
To set the password, edit the room settings in Mira Portal and specify the password and the amount of time before the system requires the password to be entered again. See our article, Password Protection on Mira Connect, for more information.

The Mira Portal password and the password timeout are stored with the room settings.

Added support for a screen cleaning mode on Mira Connect. Press and hold the clock for 5-seconds to initiate a 20-second cleaning mode where all screen touches are ignored. See our article, Cleaning and disinfecting Mira Connect Touchscreens, for more information.

Added support for controlling the DSP audio features for Extron DTP CrossPoint 4k series and the DTP CrossPoint 84 video switchers. The Audio DSP features of the video switcher family can be configured just like other supported audio DSP’s using the Audio Control tab in Mira Portal. See our article, Extron Integration Guide, for more information.

Added elapsed time to Mira Portal’s In Call dashboard. Now it’s easy to see which rooms in your organizations are in a call and the duration of those calls.

Added support for users to acknowledge that the Zoom call is being recorded when Mira Connect dials a Zoom call with recording in progress. Mira Connect presents a status message and allows the user to agree to being recorded or leave the call.

Added a meeting recording indicator to the Zoom call card to show when the meeting is being recorded.
