We’ve addressed a persistent issue where video recordings from some Apple devices would appear rotated by 90 or 180 degrees. No recruiter should have to crane their neck to watch a candidate interview. This was caused by inconsistencies in how Safari on Apple devices reports video orientation data.

What We've Fixed:

We have deployed a patch that specifically improves how we detect and process videos recorded on Mac devices using the Safari browser. This will resolve the issue for a significant number of affected users and ensure videos from these devices display correctly.

A Note on Remaining Issues:

The underlying issue may still persist for videos recorded on some iPads. We are continuing to investigate a more permanent and comprehensive solution to account for the inconsistencies in Apple's ecosystem.

We are committed to resolving this completely. Thank you for your patience as we work through the complexities.

Fixed an issue where the email reminder templates were showing the wrong value for the hours after which reminders would be sent.

The values were only shown incorrectly and reminder emails were always being sent at the correct set duration.

We resolved a bug for some users where typing into any field designated for a URL would incorrectly trigger a NaN (Not a Number) error, preventing users from entering a web address.

We heard you loud and clear: the delays in video processing were unacceptable. We promised a fast, efficient screening process, and our previous video encoding system was failing to deliver on that promise, creating backlogs and forcing you to wait.

Effective immediately, we have migrated our entire video infrastructure to a new, state-of-the-art cloud provider. This eliminates processing queues entirely.

What this means for you:

This upgrade allows you to review candidates faster, accelerate your hiring cycle, and maintain momentum with top talent.

We resolved a critical bug that affected users sending emails through their own custom Microsoft 365 SMTP configurations. The authentication token required to connect to Microsoft's services was expiring and not being refreshed, causing email deliveries to fail silently.

This issue could interrupt key workflows, such as sending candidate invitations, and negatively impact the hiring process. The fix ensures the authentication token is now proactively refreshed, guaranteeing reliable email delivery for all users with a custom Microsoft 365 email setup.
