Smoother meeting experience for participants 

In the third quarter of 2022, KUDO focused on enhancing the attendees' experience on KUDO Meeting. What does the full KUDO Meeting experience look like for participants? You can click here to find out. 

Here are the highlights: 

• Active participants on screen can now raise their hand 🤚. Find out more here. 
• New view modes 🖥. Majestic - now you have more options to view the participant's videos, shared screen, and sign language interpretation in your meeting interface. Check out the different screen and gallery views here.  
• KUDO introduced Tool Tips for new users. Tool Tips offers participants a quick tour of the KUDO interface. Participants who are familiar with the platform can turn Tool Tips off. 
• Before entering the meeting, participants are now prompted to give KUDO the necessary browser permissions to test their mic, camera, speaker, and internet connection.  
• We'd love to hear your feedback. An optional short post-meeting survey now appears after a participant leaves a KUDO meeting. This feedback directly helps us enhance the user experience and is live for all APAC and Americas customers. If you are an EMEA-based customer and wish to opt-in to post-meeting surveys, please get in touch with your Client Manager. 

Enhanced multilingual recording feature  

Contact your Client Manager or Representative if you haven't tried our multilingual recording feature yet. 

• You can now activate automatic recording.  Always forget to start the recording? Now, the recording will start automatically as soon as the KUDO meeting opens. 
• Captions can now be displayed on multilingual recordings. For meetings using KUDO multilingual captioning, the captions can be displayed in all languages when playing the recorded videos on your computer. 
• Who is presenting? No more confusion on who is presenting. The active speaker is now easily identified on the recordings with a blue border around their video. 
• Click here for more details on enabling and using the KUDO multilingual recording feature.

• KUDO is now available on Teams Mobile App. Attendees can now access the KUDO Language Selector on Teams Mobile and Desktop App. Check out the how-to for attendees here. 

• Multilingual captioning is available for Language Access Web Link. Are you familiar with the Web Link? This solution gives attendees access to the language selector on a separate webpage allowing you to combine ANY meeting or event with KUDO's multilingual technology. Now you have the option to enable multilingual captioning! The Web Link is perfect for hybrid and in-person events and is recommended for some event platforms. This feature is already available for Language Access Widget, an option that embeds our language selector directly in the meeting or event platform. Find out more about the KUDO Language Access Web Link here.  
   
• Localized Language Access solution for attendees. When attendees access the Widget or Web Link, they can now change the language displayed on the tool. Click here to learn how to switch the Language Access Widget's language. 

New Professional Services and Operators usage calculation in 2023, and a new update for Language Access is planned to be launched before the year ends 😱.

KUDO Language Access solutions

• Enhanced Language Access Widget and ON24 integration. Auto-floor will soon be available! What does this mean? When selecting a language during ON24 events, the original (floor) audio will be automatically muted or lowered. Attendees won't have to mute the audio manually, significantly improving the user experience. Big shout out to ON24 for working with us on this. What other event platforms would you like to have this feature on? Let's nudge them to implement this together 😊!
