What's new
SMART Bridgit 4.5 software introduces several new features.
Knocking
You can knock at a SMART Bridgit meeting door to get access to the meeting without receiving an
invitation to the meeting. When you knock, other participants in the SMART Bridgit meeting can allow
or deny you access to the meeting. For more information, see Joining a meeting with a knock on page
20.
Sharing a region of your desktop
You can share a small region of your shared display with meeting participants. For more information,
see Sharing a region of your desktop on page 26.
Raising your hand
The Raise Hand feature enables meeting participants to politely interrupt when they want to
contribute to the meeting. This feature provides both a visual and an audible notification to capture the
attention of other participants. For more information, see Raising your hand on page 33.
Resizing video windows
You can resize the video dialog boxof other participants' webcam views. For more information on
webcam views and resizing the video window, see Using webcams on page 29.
Incremental annotation with drawing tools
SMART Bridgit software uses incremental annotation so meeting participants view new information
seamlessly. When you draw new information on your shared screen, SMART Bridgit software sends
the new input in small continuous chunks as it is being added and the meeting participants see it
incrementally. For more information on drawing tools, see Using drawing tools while sharing on page
26.
