Adobe has stopped supporting its iconic flash player starting December 31, 2020 and has blocked Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021.
Owing to security reasons, we no longer support uploading Flash content in the content library or using Flash interactive content in your courses.
We have rolled out a new update to our Virtual Classroom platform. The new update comes with 4 major performance improvements, 11 major bug fixes, and some minor bug fixes.
Performance Improvements
Bug Fixes
Facebook had blocked sharing of BrainCert instructor's course links as a false positive from their automation. This has been resolved by working with their business support team.
When sharing a course link in Facebook, you will notice few details that auto-populate through Open Graph (OG) metadata. BrainCert uses Open Graph meta tags to ensure the Facebook Crawler scrapes useful information, such as course title, description, course URL and preview image, about your course.
We're excited to announce the launch of a head-to-toe complete redesign of our E-Learning platform that provides customers with a clean design, ease of navigation, and seamless user experience across all products.

We have rolled out an update to our Virtual Classroom build. Below are the fixes and improvements.
We've rolled a Virtual Classroom patch with the following fixes and improvements:
We have now upgraded our new Virtual Classroom build across all global datacenter locations. We are introducing some of the new and exciting features from our roadmap. There is also great improvement on the audio and video to offer superior performance.
Collaborate face-to-face with your attendees in real-time with enlarged video conference mode that now supports upto 10 concurrent video streams with automatic speaker detection. There is no limit on audio conferencing and it is based on your subscription package.
We have now greatly improved audio/video connectivity with much quicker connection time and overall performance improvement in larger groups.
With this new version, Instructors can either lock or unlock whiteboard for students to meet compliance requirements. This feature is specifically designed for younger students where they do not access to all the whiteboard tools such as eraser tool but can collaborate with pen tool with the instructor and other students.
If an Instructor locks the whiteboard students will not be able to write or draw anything on the whiteboard area. Instructors need to enable unlock option for the whiteboard if he/she wishes students to write or draw on the whiteboard.
Also, the existing whiteboard access permission for the student under the attendee list is still available. This feature can be used to promote additional instructors or moderators giving them full whiteboard access.
Instructors can annotate on top on screen sharing. They can also allow students to annotate by unlocking screen share whiteboard for students.
We have now improved the document viewer functionality. All uploaded contents will be processed much quickly and displayed on the whiteboard with appropriate zoom level for easy readability.
This version is equipped with faster WebRTC connection that enables the quick real-time communication with larger rooms that has over 500 participants and improved WARP algorithm for better congestion control and low-latency performance.
Optimized layout to access tools quicker and maximum viewing area in tablets and mobile devices.
All Audio and Video files streamed using media player from the content library inside Virtual Classroom will now appear in class recordings with the exception of for YouTube and Vimeo links shared. YouTube has changed their API and forbids playing videos on recordings, so there is no official way to bypass it.
With this feature, the microphone and webcam devices selected in a VC session will be remembered when joining the next session.
We have now greatly improved the processing time of our 720p MP4 HD recordings for both standard and enhanced recorder options.
The active stroke and fill color selection will be remembered along with the active whiteboard tool when the browser is reloaded or when the instructor rejoin the session.
We have now changed the design of broadcast messages to all attendees in BreakRooms from the chat area.
We have also have fixed other minor issues listed below:
We've consolidated both local and cloud uploader into one single file uploader UI that makes a file upload from any source painless and intuitive.
With this new update, your files are always delivered with unparalleled speed and control. You can either drag and drop or select files to upload from your local drive or upload directly from local computer or cloud integrations such as OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, GitHub etc.,
You can even record and upload a live audio or video instantly. This new uploader also supports very large SCORM zip files.
We have now fixed timeout error in our platform when downloading large files. The download icon can be found under the options tool in the course library corresponding to the course title as shown below.
Once the download icon is clicked a pop-up will be triggered from where you can download the required large files without any loading issue.
We have now rolled out new URL option for our E-learning Platform. Once entering into manage live classes after scheduling your live class session, you can find a new redirect URL option at the top right corner as shown below.
By clicking the " Redirect URL" a pop-up message will be triggered asking to enter the required URL. So, when attendees leave room or if instructor end the class, it redirects to the given URL.
