Broadcast yourself

CometChat v5.0 provides your website users with the next best thing to having in-person meetings – broadcasting! With the new Broadcast plugin, users can conduct intensive audio/video broadcast meetings in no time. A user can start his/her broadcast from chatrooms and one-on-one conversations and begin one-way conversations with the other users. So the next time your users need to host a meeting, a few clicks is all they need to do!

Custom guest names

Are your guests tired of identifying themselves with numbers? v5 allows guests to change their name. No longer will they be known as “Guest 35634″, “Guest 9634″ etc. Let them choose their name (although the word “Guest” will be pre-fixed so that your users do not confuse them with members) like “Guest John”, “Guest Jennifer” etc.

While browsing your site using their mobile devices, users will receive notification if there is a new message. A simple click sends your users to the CometChat mobile webapp directly.

We have added new installation screencasts for CometChat at CometChatTV.

Simply watch the installation video for your software and install CometChat within minutes on your site!

We have updated our screensharing plugin so you can use Adobe FMS server instead of RED5 server. Earlier you could use only RED5 which required some skills (or an external developer) to install. Now, if you do not wish to take the effort to self-host a RED5 server, you can simply subscribe at Influxis for an Adobe FMS server.

With this release, all our plugins (screensharing, whiteboard and audio/video chat) can be configured to use either RED5 or Adobe FMS. Detailed installation instructions are available in our documentation.

Note that audio/video chat, by default, uses our own servers and does not require any additional server. But we provide this option for customers who wish to use their own servers.

Theme Helper

We have received a lot of requests for assistance with the theme variables. To make it easier to modify the look and feel of CometChat, we have created a simple theme helper which tells you which variable modifies which part of the theme.

Check out our theme helper today and create your own custom theme with ease!

End-user manuals

Your end users may need guidance on how to use CometChat. With so many features, it may be difficult for some users to understand all the functionality. We have added PDFs which you can download for free and provide to your site users.

Select your edition and download the end-user manual for your users now!

Answers – Quicker troubleshooting!

We have added a new section which helps quickly answer your most common queries before you create a support ticket or look around in our community forums.

Head over to Answers for all your CometChat troubleshooting/customization needs.

Along the way, we had a chance to add new features as well!

Whiteboard

The new whiteboard plugin has tons of new options and a cleaner layout which blends smoothly into our existing look and feel.

Requirements

If you would like to use the screen sharing, you will need RED5 server (open-source). The software can either be hosted on your own server or you can use a third-party host. You can learn more by reading up our configuration guide for screen sharing.

If you would like to use whiteboard plugin, you will need either RED5 (open-source) or Adobe FMS server (commercial). Both software can either be hosted on your own server or you can use a third-party host. You can learn more by reading up our configuration guide for whiteboard.
