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

• Screen share border color switched from red to “Tuple Purple”
• 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

Added

• [beta] Audio Unit processing pipeline: We’ve added a brand new Audio Unit-based processing pipeline. This pipeline is currently in beta, and can be enabled via settings. Doing so will yield improved vocal clarity, especially in noisy environments. This feature is only available on macOS Sonoma.

Changed
