New Features

Scheduled Anonymization

For customers who require data anonymization to meet privacy regulations, Librestream will enable Scheduled Anonymization. When Scheduled Anonymization is enabled, active users will automatically have their Personal Identifiable Information (PII) anonymized based on the Personal Data Retention Period (12 or 18 months). The username, email address and other PII will no longer be available for display in reports and call statistics. An anonymized pseudonym will be inserted in its place to prevent identification of the user and anonymized data for active users will be grouped into monthly segments.

Remote Video Privacy – Option to require consent for remote video-sharing requests

‘Require consent for remote video sharing requests’ gives customers greater control over video sharing during an Onsight call. When enabled, users must provide consent before a remote participant can view video from their camera. Video privacy is enhanced at sensitive locations by requiring users to provide consent before sharing video.

The Windows download is hosted on Librestream servers in China, the Android app is available from multiple China-based app stores, and iOS continues to be available from the App Store in China. By request, customers also have the option of using TeamLink servers in China for their China-based users to optimize call routing.
