KMS Version:5.100.64
Date Released: Oct. 13, 2020
What's New
Lock the Door
The Lock the Door feature allows Instructors to lock the door to their virtual room and admit participants in selectively. Lock the Door may be configured in many ways to fit a variety of use cases. An instructor may use this feature to ensure that no one enters the room while session preparations are being made, or before the room stage is set. The room door may be locked automatically when the room is launched or preset to lock minutes later. The Lock the Door feature may also be used to increase security measures when holding external meetings with guests from outside the organization.
Please contact you Kaltura representative to enable this feature on your account. For more information, see the article about the Lock the Door feature.
