Highlights V13r3 | myApps Client: Pinning Apps & App Focus

Is it sometimes difficult to keep track with the growing number of available apps? We have good news for you. With our new software version, you can now go ahead and pin often used apps to your myApps task bar. Every pinned app will be displayed permanently within the task bar at the bottom of the client. This also applies when the user closes the app and even if the computer on which the myApps client is used is shut down and started up again at a later point. This allows for quick access to all apps used on a daily basis.

Do you mainly use myApps as telephony and UCC client? In this case, we would like to recommend the function app focus. This goes one step further than the previously described pin function. Select any app you please and place it into the app focus right next to your home button in myApps. This one app will then be fixed to your task bar.

Here is an example: If you select the Softphone app and set it into the app focus, the interface of the Softphone app will open up automatically instead of your home screen once you start myApps. Should you close apps within myApps, you will also end up in the app that was set for the focus. myApps power users can place the focus on any app via drag & drop.

By the way: No matter what app has been placed into focus, you can now check and edit your own presence status directly within this app.

Take a look at the demo video of our colleague Lars for more details on pinning apps and on how to place the focus on an app.

innovaphone Conferencing & Conference App: Join Virtual myApps Meetings, Plan myApps Meetings & Invite Others

Schedule myApps Meetings & Invite Internal and External Participants to Meetings

Plan myApps meetings and generate invitations to these virtual meetings directly within the Conference app. External participants can join the online meeting via a web link and without having to install any software or plug-in. Users can also generate a calendar entry with all relevant information on the meeting and on how to participate. This calendar entry can then be sent out as an invitation to the meeting.

Presence Status in Real-Time

Once a user dials into a myApps meeting using the Phone app or Softphone app, this will be displayed within the presence information in myApps. If someone tries to call this user, either the busy signal will be heard or the call will be forwarded according to the user settings – if this function has previously been activated.

Online Meetings or Hybrid Meetings – Utmost Flexibility with innovaphone Conferencing

The admin determines who has access to which conference room. A user can be assigned as many conference rooms as desired. Each room, indicated with its own icon, can then be added to the myApps home screen for quick access. The badge count at the app icon indicates how many people have entered the virtual conference room. This allows users to see how many people are present in the meeting before even entering the virtual room. Physical meeting rooms are thus perfectly simulated: Whether virtually or physically on site - you can see who is already in a room and then simply enter it.

By the way: Our myApps meetings provide end to end encryption. In order to avoid unauthorized access to a conference room, it is also possible to create an individual PIN. This PIN is then required when dialing into the virtual room.

Please visit our website for more detailed information on the innovaphone Conference app & innovaphone Conferencing solution.

Highlights V13r3 | NEW innovaphone Recording for Voice Recordings & More Features in the Recordings App

Recording phone calls is part of your daily business routine? We are happy to announce a variety of improvements such as extended filter and arrangement options as well as some new features of our innovaphone Recording solution.

Here is an excerpt:

• The user can now begin with a recording (PCAP recording) manually and locally (and specifically selected) via the Softphone app
• Users can select between three recording modes
• Recordings can be set up for groups
• Deleted recordings are not entirely deleted straight away. They will be transferred to a waste basket where they can either be deleted for good or restored

Highlights V13r3 | Softphone App & Phone App: Unified Multi-Video UI, Enhanced Stability and New Functions

With the Phone app and the Softphone app (via launcher or web browser), the user interfaces now look the same. This applies to all types of calls: Whether you are in a one-on-one phone call, in a 3-party conference or joining a virtual myApps meeting via one of these two apps.

The major overhaul includes:

• Multi-video
• Non-persistent chat directly within the call: Chat messages are transferred as part of the call
• A “raise your hand” button to indicate that you would like to speak
• A listing of all participants within a myApps meeting
• Favorites list, call history and a search field including functions such as visible presence status, initiating a call / chat conversation, take over a phone call (only within the favorites list) or call transfer

Advantages for users of the native myApps client:

Once the Softphone app is used as default app for telephony, a call is no longer disconnected if the Softphone app / the myApps Custom app for MS Teams is closed. Inbound calls can be accepted even if the Softphone app and myApps are not open. Especially when using mobile devices, call signalling is accelerated and general stability is improved.
