Latest Release Highlights - 

Avatour Operator App for Labpano Cameras

Date: 8/22/2024

Version: 3.0.130

We've redesigned the Camera Operator app to enhance usability and streamline access to key features. Here’s what’s new:

• Top-Level Menu: The app now features a top-level menu, giving you direct access to Quick Capture (offline), Start a Live Meeting, Gallery, and Settings. This change ensures that all main actions are immediately visible and accessible, removing the need to navigate through dropdown menus.
• Offline Functionality: When your device is offline, you can still perform Quick Captures and view them in the Gallery. However, if you attempt to start a live meeting while offline, you'll be redirected to the network settings.

Avatour Web

Date: 8/28/2024

• We have addressed a critical issue affecting web users, where the camera/mic permissions modal would disappear too quickly to be accepted, resulting in an error that the microphone was not found. This issue was most commonly reproduced on iOS/Chrome but could potentially affect other platforms as well.

• Simplifies wireless connection to Insta cameras using bluetooth discovery.

Date: 9/5/2023

Version: 3.0.3

• Improve stability of wireless streaming from Insta cameras
• Increase resolution of quick captures to 4k when using a wired connection to Insta360 cameras

Date: 8/30/2023

Version: 3.0.0

• Introducing Quick Capture Mode: We've integrated support for capturing and sharing 360-degree photos and videos directly from the Avatour app using Insta360 cameras. The newly added "Quick Capture" mode is easily accessible from both the Camera and Gallery tabs. Additionally, you can conveniently rename your captures and organize them within specific workspaces prior to uploading.
• Wireless Live Streaming: We've introduced the capability to conduct wireless live streaming directly from Insta360 cameras. This eliminates the need for a physical cable connection between your phone and the camera. Embracing this wireless functionality is a breeze. Just connect to the camera's wireless access point. For instance, if you're using the ONE X2 model, look for the SSID to might look something like "ONE X2 7VMF4Q.OSC". Upon connection, you'll be prompted to enter a password. The default password for this purpose is '88888888'. However, please note that for streaming over this wireless connection, a robust 5G or LTE data connection is required.

Avatour Platform Updates  

Date: Aug 15th 2023

• Meeting Recording (Beta)
  • It is now possible to record your Avatour meetings. Each Workspace has a setting which enables recording for any meeting that takes place in that workspace. This is a preliminary version of meeting recording which records the audio from participants and any live captures from a 360° camera. Future versions will also capture the participant videos and anything that is presented during the meeting. Note: Recording is currently in beta and is available upon request. Please contact your Customer Success representative if you would like access to the feature.
• Quick Capture
  • The Avatour Operator App can now be used to capture 360° videos and photos. Videos captured within the app are optimized for use on the Avatour platform, greatly reducing upload and processing times. Quick Capture can also be used without a network connection, so you can capture wherever and whenever you need to and upload later.

• Operator Share Button
  • The Operator App now has a Share button, making it easy for 360° camera operators to share an invitation to their Avatour meeting. On iOS and Android mobile devices, the Share button will copy the invite link and open up the device’s native sharing menu. The Share button on Pilot cameras will serve up a QR code which can be scanned using a mobile device.
