Hey,
We are dropping by with some product updates.
We won’t bore you with one of those cliched' ‘we are hard at work’ lines. We’d rather save it for some of the upcoming updates - because we have lots and lots of exciting things coming up. 🚀

What’s new? 📣

SIP interconnect

Participants can now join Dyte meetings using a phone call using Dyte’s SIP interconnect.
But, what is SIP? Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Interconnect is a setup that connects two or more different SIP-based networks or systems to enable the flow of voice traffic between them.
Simply put, you can bridge VOIP calls from any external third-party service to Dyte’s WebRTC meetings and allow participants to join Dyte meetings using a phone call.

Self troubleshoot

Enable users to debug the root cause of some common audio, video, and screenshare issues themselves via small guided tests.
For instance, if the user is facing an audio issue, they can perform tests to rule out and solve for common scenarios such as device permissions, microphone test, speaker tests.

We are constantly trying to add more depth to stats we provide. Over the past few weeks, we’ve added insights to give you analytics on what went wrong in the call, media, and network quality.

What's Brewing? 🍺👩🏽‍💻

Server side transcription

The existing transcription capabilities involve sending audio data from the client side to a third party. You’ll soon be able to integrate real-time transcriptions and post-meeting transcription with Dyte’s Webhooks.
This means more reliable transcriptions since audio data would now directly be parsed from the Dyte’s media engine instead of retransmitting it via a client.
More details are coming soon. In the meantime, learn more about meeting transcriptions.
