Improvements

Universal Capture Updates (US and APAC customers only)

  Universal Capture and all device platforms have been upgraded to OpenSSL 3.5.4, ensuring continued security and compliance as OpenSSL 3.0 approaches end-of-life.

  The latest Universal Capture version is now 6.0.871908088.

Reporting Updates

We are excited to announce the release of three new accessibility-focused reports, available via the reporting API, to help institutions better understand and improve their media accessibility:

• Media with and without captions:

  A new report for identifying media with or without captions, making it easier to track and address caption coverage across your content.

• Media with and without transcripts:

  A new report for identifying media with or without transcripts, making it easier to track and address transcript coverage across your content.

• Transcript quality report:

  Gain insights into the quality of your transcripts with a dedicated report that highlights transcript confidence and potential issues, supporting continuous accessibility improvements.

Accessibility Updates

• Improved labeling for form fields:

  The Capture ID and Media ID fields in the Media Info > Details > General tab now have visible, persistent, and programmatically associated labels, ensuring screen readers announce them correctly.

• Context-sensitive page titles:

  The Collection Details page now displays a unique, descriptive page title that reflects the specific collection, making navigation clearer for all users and assistive technologies.

• Keyboard accessibility for custom controls:

  All interactive controls (sortable column headers, Edit / Remove buttons) in the Membership tab of Collection Details are now fully keyboard-accessible and properly announced by screen readers.

• Descriptive and unique headings / labels:

  Menu buttons and headings on the Collections page now have concise, descriptive, and unique accessible names, improving clarity for screen reader users.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where public chapter links in EchoVideo would not start playback from the correct chapter when the user was logged in, ensuring chapter links now work as expected for both authenticated and unauthenticated users.
• Resolved a UI bug on the Recycle Bin page where the last record appeared slightly cut off after applying filters and selecting records; all records are now fully visible regardless of filter combinations.
• Corrected keyboard navigation in the scheduling modal so that tabbing now properly cycles through all fields within the modal, preventing focus from escaping to the background UI and improving accessibility for keyboard users.
• Resolved an issue where the Upload Captions button was incorrectly disabled for Admin and Owner users, restoring the ability to upload caption files for improved accessibility workflows.
• Fixed inconsistent tooltip text on the EchoVideo player’s play button, ensuring a single, contextually correct tooltip now appears across all player instances.
• Eliminated unwanted horizontal scrollbars that appeared in various dialogs and modals (such as New Organization, Create Poll, and Play Style pages) when error states were triggered, resulting in a cleaner and more accessible UI.
• Resolved an issue where some Toggles that support override were not disabled in the UI when the parent was turned off.
