What's New

Hey folks! It's been a hot minute. Most of the "launched" features in March have been around small quality-of-life improvements.

But we've been quietly working behind the scenes getting ready for the Betafi Mobile Participant Experience! If you're interested in testing it out, please drop us a line, and we can add you to our Apple TestFlight & Google Play Store Betas. We are targeting an April launch for Betafi on mobile, and we can't wait to share more with you as we inch closer to the release date.

Anyways, on to our regularly scheduled update...

New Feature Highlights from March:

• Ability to add a Betafi session reminder to your calendar (via ical, Google Calendar support coming as soon as Google approves our Calendar API access 😅)
• Notifications galore (participant invite emails, reminders for upcoming sessions, notification when the participant joins a session, and when your video + transcript are ready to view!)
• "Presence Avatars" for participants and observers on a live session: now you'll know the instant your colleague hops on as an observer
• Proper timezone support for inviting participants across timezones

Welcome to the first biweekly "What's New" update from Betafi. Here we'll be covering notable new features, bugfixes, and improvements in a quick format so you can stay up-to-date on the latest and greatest.

New Feature Highlights from early Feb:

• Interview Scripts can now be included when you setup a project. This allows your team to "check-off" interview questions during a live session as the moderator or note-taker. Then the recording will be automatically annotated with headings for each question alongside the transcript and notes. This makes it super easy to recall and summarize what happened during a session at-a-glance.
• Our Adobe XD Integration is now live! Figma can't have all the fun. We've heard that several of you are avid Adobe XD users, so now when you provide an Adobe XD prototype URL when setting up a project, we'll automatically fetch the screens in the prototype and let you pick which ones you want to use as start screens during a live usability session on Betafi. No more fumbling with hot-spots to reset your prototype nav during a session!
• Email Notifications for Mentions: now when a colleague @mentions you in a note or chat on Betafi, you'll get an email notification linking you right to the relevant content.
