SMART Mirror release notes

Important 

This release addresses an issue where SMART Mirror would quit unexpectedly — either during a restart or when initiating a new meeting. To ensure a stable and reliable experience, SMART Mirror 4.41.6 temporarily removes Google Cast from the software. Our Development team is actively working on restoring Google Cast functionality with a more flexible and reliable protocol.

In the meantime, users can continue to share their screens using the desktop app, mobile app, or web client. Miracast and AirPlay are also unaffected and remain available as alternatives.

Version

Embedded app

4.41.6.47316

Client apps

Mac: 2.41.2.97

Windows: 2.41.2.49

Highlights

Embedded app

  • Users can now change the application language to Arabic across the app, web client, and receiver.

  • SMART Mirror users can download a SMART-branded iPad application that replicates the desktop app experience (without touchback functionality). Key capabilities include:

    • Joining unlimited connection sessions, which disable AirPlay but now allow iPad users to participate seamlessly.

    • Connecting to live broadcasts when joining a session.

    • Sharing items directly through the iPad app. This provides iPad users with a richer, more versatile experience, enhancing their ability to engage in sessions.

  • The Android receiver now supports access to the native file browser, if one is available on the device. This provides a more streamlined and familiar experience for file selection. If a native file browser is not present, the receiver will revert to the existing process.

Resolved issues

Embedded app

  • Fixed an issue where the wrong message was displayed on the mobile client when joining a session that has a live broadcast running.

Known issues

Windows app

  • When attempting to rejoin a session, an erroneous maximum number of attendees message may be displayed if SMART Mirror is not open and in the foreground on the display.
