What’s New on Video Embed

Call Hold feature and new AI Capabilities

January 19, 2024: We have updated Low Code Embed with some new feature:

Enhanced Call Hold Feature in Video Calls

WnableX Low Code UI now includes an optimized Call Hold option. During a hold, the video for participants is replaced with an optional custom image, which can be set via the hold_img_url parameter in the participant link. The audio is muted on both sides during the hold, maintaining privacy. Moderators continue to view the participant’s video, ensuring seamless communication management. If a specific custom hold image is needed, we offer bespoke configurations upon request. Currently, the default image can be set through a database update, offering customised solutions for unique client needs.

Upon resuming the call, audio is reactivated, allowing for a smooth transition back to the conversation.

Transcriptions are downloadable from the EnableX portal or can be synced directly with your partner ecosystem. Additionally, our service supports a wide range of international and Indian languages, accessible via API.
