Mac: 2.41.2.97

Windows: 2.41.2.49

• The new "Connect as a Teacher" feature gives educators full control over their sessions from anywhere in the classroom. Teachers can now decide who can share their screen, preventing uninvited presentations and ensuring lessons run smoothly. It also integrates with Unlimited Connections, allowing teachers to invite the entire class for a more collaborative and inclusive learning experience. This feature simplifies classroom management, helping teachers stay in control with ease.

• Take full control of main display from your computer using the Remote Control feature. Users can now navigate screen-sharing sessions and control the entire display, including the home screen, apps, and tools, directly from their device—providing flexibility and confidence to present from anywhere in the room. To ensure security, Remote Control is only available to those who join through "Connect as a Teacher," ensuring that only authorized educators and presenters can manage the display.

• 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.

• SMART Mirror now uses the room name instead of the session ID for Miracast and Chromecast connections. To help users easily identify the correct display, an alert will appear on the home screen if the receiver is using a default room name (e.g., SMART Board MX Series (V5)). This alert includes a “Learn More” button with guidance on setting a unique name for better discovery. Users can choose to keep the default name if preferred, ensuring flexibility for IT-managed environments.

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

• Users can now write and erase over shared content using the pens and erasers included with the display (or their palm, if applicable). Fingers now function as a cursor tool, replacing the previous behavior where fingers were used for drawing.

• Audio is now available when an individual window is shared using the SMART Mirror desktop apps for Windows and macOS. This ensures that multimedia audio works seamlessly, regardless of the sharing option selected.

• The web and desktop client apps now display a list of available receivers, making it easier to find and connect to the desired device with a single click. This feature is optional and requires the client device to be on the same network as the receiver. For AirPlay both devices must also be on the same subnet or discoverable via BLE. This feature requires Bonjour to be enabled on the network. Consult the SMART Mirror networking guide for details.

• SMART Mirror now offers improved support for input devices, such as physical remote controls, enabling easier navigation on non-touch Android devices without relying on a mouse. This update enhances accessibility, making the app more user-friendly across a broader range of devices and users.

• Fixed an issue where the “clear annotations” dialog wasn’t shown when clearing the whiteboard.

• SMART Mirror is currently experiencing an issue where receivers connected to the internet with Google Cast enabled may quit unexpectedly when restarted or when creating a new meeting. Google Cast is temporarily disabled while SMART actively works on a fix to correct this issue.

• When attempting to rejoin a session, the message “Sorry, the maximum number of session attendees has been reached” may be displayed if SMART Mirror is not open (and in the foreground) on the display.

• Currently you can view a connected input using the Remote Control feature, but you cannot interact with the input.

• Nearby devices may continue to be shown in the list for several minutes even after they are no longer available.
