Webcam Window Polish

Over the last few releases of Tuple for Windows, we’ve added support for utilizing your webcam on a call, and for viewing other participants’ webcams in a pretty rudimentary view. In this release, we’ve completely reworked the webcam window: it now floats above other windows, contains call controls (such a mute and screen share toggles), allows you to optionally view your own webcam, and just generally looks way prettier.

Fixed

• Fixed drag and drop handling in veiled applications
• Bug where Tuple would appear logged out when updated while sleeping

Changed

• Connection sounds play at a more accurate time

Added

• Added a menu to select which webcam to use directly within the popover

Changed

• Video shared from local webcams is cropped to a 1:1 aspect ratio
• The “connected tone” is now only played when audio is fully connected

Fixed

• Utilizing new rendering technique for sytray icons / various button icons to smooth out rough edges
• Fixed bug that would retain pressed keyboard keys when screen view window loses keyboard focus
• Fixed intermittent errors opening the systray menu
• Smoother screen view resizing, and the window now stays within a monitor if applicable
• Re-added Tuple icon to welcome window animation

Fixed

• Missing webcam menu within popover call controls
