Some restrictions have been applied to the assignment of roles to users in private Webcasts.
From now on, for example, a user assigned an Editor role by the administrator can only be assigned the Editor role at the event level.

To further facilitate Webcast event access for authorized users, you can now provide permitted UUIDs in Webcast Manager.
This enables employees to sign in to Webcasts using SSO based on their internal UUIDs.

Webcast streams are now limited to 13 hours (12 hours event duration + 1 hour buffer). After this time, the stream will automatically disconnect.
The counter is reset when you restart the stream (publish the RTMP signal).
To change the duration, navigate to the Configuration panel in the Webcast Manager and select the desired duration from the drop-down menu.
To help administrators have an overview of Webcast owners, the event owner name is displayed in the event list.

In Webcast Manager, you can now create public and private accounts at the customer level.
With a private account, you can create private events that are not visible to anyone else.
In these private events, you can also assign roles to members of your organization.
For detailed information about enhanced access control, please consult this article.
To ensure that only authorized users can access Webcast events, you can enable the use of HMAC (hash-based message authentication code) tokens for user authentication.
