Hey,
Hope you've been keeping safe & sound! I'm excited to share January's newsletter with you! 
January has been an excellent month for us as our team grew over 30 members and our usage trends continued to rise. All of this couldn't have been possible without your constant support, and I'd like to extend my gratitude towards you for being a part of this journey and propelling the beginning of 2022 for us 🚀

GIF guides for permission troubleshooting
We have revamped our permission UX with detailed GIF guides to help with permission troubleshooting. GIFs provide step-by-step assistance on how to unblock the camera or microphone & join the meeting, so lesser drops for you!

Improved UI responsiveness for smaller screens
We have improved the UI responsiveness tremendously on smaller screens to provide seamless performance.
Breakout rooms coming soon!
We are building APIs to seamlessly move a part of participants to a new breakout room. Breakout rooms have become a significant use case for most group sessions. We’re planning on launching a “one-click” implementation of the same via the Dyte APIs. Using this, our users can create, manage & end breakout rooms seamlessly.
