We are pleased to announce the release of Office Chat version 2.10 which goes live on Feb 9th.. This release would include the following enhancements & bug fixes.
New Enhancement in Windows Desktop & Mac Clients
- Share what’re working on with custom status: Show co-workers what you’re up to and your availability with custom status messages.
- Custom status messages can be upto 150 characters
- Recently used 5 custom status messages are remembered by the app so that they can be re-used again later.
New Enhancements in iOS & Android Apps
- Ability to print chat messages (iOS only): Printing of chat history from iOS client has been added. All chat messages in the chat window can now be printed to any AirPrint enabled wireless printer on the network.
- All group settings now available to group admins on mobile: All group settings that are on windows/mac clients are now available on both iOS & Android apps so group admins can make changes on the go.
- Improved UI for actions on a chat message (Android Only): The actions bar on “long press” of a chat message has been improved and moved up in the header area to make it easy to use for all types of chat messages.
Bug Fixes
- Ability to look up users using full names on mobile: Lookup of users using the full name was broken because of the space b/w first name & last name. This has been fixed to enable the look ahead to work on user names with spaces.
- Message getting erased on mobile: While typing if you accidentally hit one of the options like record audio, the menu pops up and that erases whatever was typed in the chat box. This issue has been fixed to not wipe out the typed out message.
- Forward action on video message on mobile (android only): Ability to forward a video chat message was broken. This has been fixed with the new UI design of actions bar moving to the top.
Built for Business: Office Chat premium gives company admins a web-based admin portal with full administration control to: manage users, teams, messages, SSO integration with company's active directory, the usage and engagement dashboard, and email support 24x7.
Email Interoperability: Office Chat allows you to send a message to anyone in your company. Users without the Office Chat app installed on their phone or desktop can participate in conversations via email.
Available on Mobile, Desktop, and Mac: Office Chat is the only business messaging solution today that can get everyone in the company on board. It connects your mobile workforce using iPhone, iPad, or Android along with workers using Windows Desktop or Mac.
