1. Large presenter window option added to Groupworld
We have added a "large presenter window" option to Groupworld, allowing you to have a larger video window for the presenter and smaller windows for attendees. Just tick the "large presenter window" option when editing the room in the hosted Groupworld control panel, or use the large_presenter_window API option.
2. Multiple drag+drop image support added to Groupworld
Groupworld now supports drag+dropping multiple images, so you can (for example) drop multiple worksheets onto the whiteboard and they will appear in different pages.
3. Graphics tablets for Groupboard and Groupworld
Just a reminder that you can use graphics tablets such as Wacom and Huion with all of our products, making it easier to draw freehand than using a mouse on your PC or Mac. Graphics tablets generally plug into the USB port of your Mac or PC and allow you draw using a stylus on a pad.
4. Permanent laser pointer option for Groupworld
We have added an option to Groupworld to display a permanent laser pointer, showing the position of the other user's mouse cursor. Tick "Permanent laser pointer" in the hosted Groupworld control panel to try this feature, or use the "show_movement_pointer" API option.
5. Review Groupboard and Groupworld on Capterra
Capterra are offering $20 gift card incentives to the first 10 people who review Groupboard or Groupworld until March 10. Eligible reviewers will be able to select from multiple gift card and charity options.

Please only review if you have actually used our products. Also please contact us first if you experienced any problems, and we will try to resolve them.
6. Full-screen video button added to Groupworld presenter mode
We have recently added full-screen video buttons to presenter mode in Groupworld, allowing the presenter to expand any user's video window to full screen (including their own). The new full-screen buttons will appear automatically in the video windows when presenter mode is activated.
7. Important change required to iframe HTML code for webcam+microphone access
Note that Google Chrome recently blocked camera+microphone access in iframes by default, so if you are using Groupworld within an iframe you will need to add allow="microphone; camera" to the iframe tag. We have updated the embed code in the hosted Groupworld control panel to reflect this change.
