Release Snobal Cloud 2021.2.2022

New feature release: Change in User Roles

Update details

This important update involves a change to user roles on Snobal Cloud available from your dashboard from Monday 12 July 2021.

Prior to 12 July 2021, Snobal Cloud provided many user roles that were available for customers to assign. Based on feedback from customers, we are now streamlining the number of user roles available on Snobal Cloud. We are doing this to make using Snobal Cloud easier for customers to use.

Video streaming and multi-user capability

This update enables customers to use video streaming within a virtual environment.

Customers can now enable access by multiple simultaneous users from diverse geographic locations to one virtual environment. This places users in the same virtual environment to interact with each other while visualising the same presentation and data. This opens new possibilities for customer presentations, team presentations. teaching and for collaborative environments.

Increasing accessibility and facilitating cross cultural experiences

This update of Snobal Cloud enhances support for multilingual virtual reality and augmented reality (XR) experiences.

Users can manage translating their XR experience content through Snobal Cloud, including listening to speech synthesis and uploading multilingual media. Content is then automatically delivered to participants in the virtual environment in their preferred language.

This update is particularly exciting as it helps facilitate cross cultural experiences by removing possible barriers to participant comprehension and engagement.
