Clearer screen sharing on Simplero Livestream

Only one person can share their screen at a time on a livestream. When someone else is already sharing, hovering the Share screen button now explains that you can't share until they're done — so it's obvious why the button is unavailable, instead of it just looking blue and seeming to do nothing when you click.

Your live call layout returns to normal after a screen share

In a Simplero Live call, starting a screen share automatically switches to Speaker view to spotlight the shared screen. Now, when the share ends, the layout goes right back to what it was before — like Gallery view — instead of leaving you stuck in Speaker view.

See and manage bot access right from a contact record

You can now see which AI bot tiers a contact has access to directly on their contact page, along with how they got that access — whether through a product, a list, or a manual grant. You'll also find a Give manual access button to grant bot tier access on the spot, and a revoke button for any access you granted manually. This section appears on accounts whose plan includes bots. Open any contact and scroll to Bots they have access to to see it all in one place.

See your livestream participant count at a glance

The Participants button on a livestream or call now shows a live count of how many people are in the room, so you can tell at a glance without opening the panel. It updates on its own as people join and leave.

See who's already in a live call before you join

On the event page, once your Simplero Live call is running, attendees now see a live in-call count — like 3 in call — alongside the faces of the people already there, right above the Join button. The same count and faces appear on the camera-setup screen as you get ready to join. It's gentle social proof that the room is buzzing, so more people hop in.

Attendees must sign your agreement before they can join

When your event requires a signed agreement, the Join and Add-to-calendar buttons now stay hidden until the attendee reviews and signs it. They'll see the "Review & sign" prompt first — so no one slips into your event or Simplero Livestream without accepting your terms.

Livestream chat no longer sends you notifications

Messages in a Simplero Live event's chat now stay in the live call — they no longer trigger email, mobile, browser, or in-app notifications. The chat is just for everyone who's live together in the moment, so it won't clutter your inbox or ping you after the event is over.

Your Simplero Live recordings are now always saved

Every Simplero Live recording is now saved to your Media Library and linked to its event session automatically — even when you haven't set the event to import the recording into a course lesson. You'll never lose a recording again, and if a session produces more than one, we save them all.

"View page on site" now works for all pages in the page editor

When editing a page that wasn't in your site's navigation, clicking "View page on site" would loop back to the editor instead of opening the live page. Now it opens your page correctly every time.

Fixed intermittent errors in the page builder

Some users were occasionally seeing errors when editing pages or themes. This was caused by a timing issue during server startup that could affect the page builder's data layer. It's now resolved.

Site members now always appear in the admin Members overview

In rare cases, a site member could be invisible in your Members list even though they had active access to the site. This happened when a deleted contact shared the same Simplero ID. Now all active members show up correctly.

PDF attachments on forum posts are now clickable

When you attached a PDF alongside a video or image on a forum post from the member site, the PDF showed up but couldn't be opened. Now all PDF attachments are clickable and viewable as expected.

Event "Recording imported and ready" trigger now fires reliably

If you set up a trigger on an event to run when its recording is imported and ready — for example, to email attendees their replay link — it could silently fail to fire, so the email never went out even though the recording imported fine. That's fixed: the trigger now runs as soon as the recording is ready and reliably sends your follow-up.

Granting a contact access to a Course now sets up their login automatically

When you grant someone access to a Course, Simplero now makes sure they have a Simplero ID (login) — even if you don't send them the access email. Previously they could be granted access but still had no way to sign in. They can now log in and start right away.

Merge ideas from the idea board again

Picking an idea to merge into now works right from your public idea board — open an idea's ⋯ → Merge into another idea, search for the target, and click it. Previously the picker wouldn't let you select anything.

Live chat stays put when you switch to Participants

During a Simplero Live event, switching between the Chat and Participants tabs in the sidebar no longer reloads the chat. It stays exactly where you left it — same scroll position, with any message you were part-way through typing still in the box — instead of jumping back to the top and starting over.

Live events now open correctly from the calendar view too

Clicking a Simplero Live event in your site's calendar now opens its event page in a new tab, just like the list view — instead of popping open an empty box that errored out.

Clear warning when editing a layout shared across multiple pages

When you open a layout (header or footer) in the page builder, you'll now see a banner telling you how many pages share that layout.

Email reply triggers now fire correctly

Fixed a bug where triggers set to fire when someone replies to a broadcast or library email were not firing. Replies were recorded, but the associated trigger actions (like tagging or starting an automation) were silently skipped. Reply triggers now work as expected.
