Most of the time our users spent in the iOS app for Pexip Service was in active meetings. In this release we’ve dramatically improved the in-call experience for meetings and direct calls, be it audio or video calls.

Pexip service new iOS experience

So what’s new?

Brand new connecting state that transitions from seeing yourself to the self-view in-call 👨🏼‍💻
If you hide the self-view by swiping it off the edge of the screen you can tap the eye icon to have it reappear
Background color changed from blue to pure black
Button sizes have been made larger to make them easier to tap with your thumb
We’ve simplified the button positioning so that the most important buttons are at the bottom of the screen while the less frequently used ones are at the top
Access chat by swiping up from the bottom while your phone is in portrait mode
Switch between presentations and incoming video while the chat is open
Buttons in landscape are now always on the opposite side of the camera on your phone to reduce the numbers of times your finger may cover your camera
Video calls and audio calls now share the same button sizes and positions
Extensive automated testing has been added behind-the-scenes to improve the reliability of the in-call experience in all future releases
Performance improvements as a result of optimising the underlying code
