We’ve made buttons on the confidence monitor and meeting mode participant list larger, improving ease of use on touchscreens.

Smaller buttons, like the “Close Door” button, have been resized to conserve screen space.

Meeting Mode Enhancements:

The participant list in meeting mode is now toggle-able, allowing users to control their screen layout.
A new Jump Button has been added for enhanced navigation and mobility in immersive spaces.

USER STORIES & TESTIMONIALS
CEO Amit Parmar shared how Cliquify, a remote-first company born during COVID, is thriving in its newly designed Katmai virtual office:
“While companies are pushing for ‘back to the office,’ Cliquify is testing out our newly designed virtual office environment. We’re remote-first, and it simply makes sense with teams all over the world. Work gets done regardless of physical presence."
These updates aim to streamline your virtual work experience and make Katmai even more accessible and functional. We hope you enjoy the new improvements, and we look forward to bringing you even more exciting features next month!
