Bug Fixes & Minor Changes: 

Fix for Paused Camera Feeds

  • Previously, when a Windows user started sharing their screen while they had the Chat pane open, all cameras would go into the "Paused" state. As a workaround, users had to change the camera filter to get the feeds to load again. Now, camera feeds will remain active.
