September 2021 - v1.13.1.3

Since our last update we've been working on a nice mix of items that we know you'll appreciate, whether they are new features you've been waiting for, improvements to existing functionality, or bug fixes.

The most notable of these is undoubtedly auto-updates. Indeed, you can now set the application to update automatically during a period of your choosing. Once you've got this setting in place, you can rest assured that meeting rooms across your organization will always be running the most up-to-date version of the application.

There's much more to look forward to in this version: More effective display name detection for meeting room consoles; fixes to UI and scaling issues; reducing Graph API permission requirements; update to BlueJeans and Webex meeting conferencing links.

There's one more item that’s worthwhile highlighting: Kiosk mode power options. You've guessed it right, you can now shut down and restart the system while you're running the application in kiosk mode. We know that this has been a pet peeve for many of you, so we're really pleased to include this new feature in our September update.

We're all really excited at DisplayNote about the next few months leading up to Christmas, as we've got some tasty stuff cooking. We may be in touch with you soon to let you sample some of it and get your feedback, as we want to make sure it just right for you. Until then, enjoy our September update.
