It Just Keeps Getting Better

Remember what life was like before apps, iPhones, Wi-Fi, laptops? Seriously. We’ve come far in a short amount of time, and not only does technology keep getting better, work itself keeps getting better. I can now take my first morning call from home to miss commuting traffic. And meet using video. I can take calls in the car. Without violating traffic laws. Biba makes meetings more efficient and communicating easier, and this month we have a packed release to make it even...better! The 2.11 release has over 90 reliability improvements as well as the following highlights:

• Single Sign On with Okta: You asked for it, you got it. We now have SSO integration with Okta! We introduced SSO with PingOne in our July release and asked what else you wanted - and here we are, two releases later with Okta. If you’d like the how-tos for the integration, just reach out to support@biba.com.
• Media quality: We’ve made several media performance improvements, including:
• Audio: We now have higher performance in low bandwidth environments, as well as suggestions when your connection is poor. For example, if VoIP has repeated connection problems, we’ll suggest that you switch to dial-in and give you the dial-in and PIN info. We’ve also improved Bluetooth capabilities on iOS and Android so that you can now use Bluetooth devices more reliably on Biba calls.
• Video: We’ve cut video CPU consumption by 20% to give you higher performance on desktops. We’ve also included suggestions for managing video in low bandwidth environments.
• Screen share: We’ve upped screen share performance by cutting bandwidth and CPU consumption. We’ve also improved the screen share web viewer with several bug fixes and expanded browser and platform support. 
• iOS 8 is ready to rock: The Biba mobile app is tested for iOS 8, so feel free to upgrade. 
• Biba Windows app auto-update = smarter: Windows users - we’ve fixed the Biba auto-updater - w00t! If a new Biba version is available when you launch the desktop app, we’ll begin the update after your call is done or when you quit the app. You also have the option to try the update later if you’re not ready. 
• Chat quality: We’ve heard some things about chat have been bugging you (no pun intended) - so we’ve fixed them: 
• Message drafts are now saved when you switch tabs
• You’re able to see group chat history when you start a chat with a group you’ve messaged before
• We’ve implemented Emoji smarts so you can paste code or enter a phone numbers without your co-worker thinking you’re flirting with them :)

To get the v2.11 release, update your Biba apps on your mobile devices and download to your laptop. As always, we’d like to hear from you on what would make your Biba experience even better. And check back in October for another update!
