Release Notes - WebinarJam & EverWebinar

This release introduces a complete redesign of the mobile fullscreen flow with smarter overlays, dynamic chat notifications, and host-controlled engagement tools. (3252 WJEW)

Improvements

  • Redesigned Fullscreen Mobile Layout
    Video now occupies fullscreen by default for maximum focus.
  • Smart Chat Notifications
    A blinking chat icon appears when new messages arrive.
    • The chat icon blinks only for unread messages and stops once the chat is opened or cleared.
    • Tapping the icon smoothly transitions to a split view so attendees can respond instantly without leaving fullscreen.
  • Interactive Overlays for Offers & Polls
    Host-selected offers, polls, and downloads now appear as lightweight overlay pills directly over the video.
    • Each pill is clickable, dismissible, and carefully designed to keep focus on the content.
    • Only one overlay is visible at a time; queued items appear in order for a clean experience.
