In the evening of the 29th of September Elluminate will be upgraded to Elluminate Live 10!

Focus in this release has been usability and performance.

The biggest new feature in this release is the Activity window. This is a real improvement, especially for those using screen readers which then can focus on only this window and get info regarding what goes on in the chat, participant list, and whiteboard. An especially cool feature is that text f.i. in powerpoint presentation shown on the whiteboard also is shown in the activity window.

In addition audible notifications has been added, given users with trouble seeing a heads up f.i. when someone leaves or enters a room.

It has been added more keyboard-shortcuts and also easier navigation between the modules using the F6 key.

The participant window is now configurable, but it is worth noticing that the name is as a standard moved from the right to the left. This is done to improve the experience for users that rely on screen-readers.

On the performance side we can mention that automated proxy detection has been added, and optimization for multiple talker(s) on the same microphone.

Of course there have also been done some improvements to the general functionalit likethe possibility to add text associated with the timer, and improvements to the whiteboard screen-explorer.
