Product Firmware Version 1.1.2

• Microsoft Teams certification
• Updated Microsoft Teams upgrader while running MTR kit
• Enhanced microphone performance
• DSP changes

• Camera view zoom ratio sudden change upon joining a meeting

• Exclusion zones set in Videobar Configuration app maybe less effective in suppressing audio from specific areas of the room.
• When a videobar is connected to a Mac via USB or Bluetooth, the computer’s volume control may be disabled.
• When using a videobar on a Windows computer, the camera image will not be visible in both the Videobar Configuration app and Microsoft Teams apps simultaneously. This is because the camera on a Windows computer can be used by only one application at a time.
• When using Videobar VB-S with Microsoft Teams, using the infrared remote control to mute the videobar will activate its mute indicator, but the mute indicator in the Teams app may not be in sync.
• When using the Videobar Configuration Web UI, the browser may need to be refreshed to properly display all tabs.
• When using the Videobar Management app on Windows 10, the computer may need to be restarted after changing Wi-Fi networks in order for the videobar to appear in the Device List.
• A videobar with old firmware (v1.0-v1.2) cannot be added to the Device List by entering their IP addresses manually in the Videobar Management app.
• When exiting low-power/standby mode (after 2 hours of inactivity and no network or USB connection), Videobar VB-S may behave inconsistently. We recommend power cycling/rebooting the videobar by disconnecting its power supply and then reconnecting it. To prevent the issue in the future, use the Videobar Configuration app or web UI to disable the low-power mode (click the Configuration tab, click System, and set the Low Power Mode switch to Disabled). An error message may appear in the Videobar Configuration app or WebUI but will disappear after connecting to a new device.
• After connecting to Apple device, when there is no audio playing, the volume of the Videobar VB-S cannot be adjusted through mobile phone. When you press the volume button on mobile phone or iPad, the Videobar VB-S does not respond. If you press the volume button on mobile phone or iPad while playing music, the volume of videobar can respond normally.
