IVA MCU 27.0 with access to chat history of completed events

IVA Technologies February 5, 2026 introduced the release servers video conferencings of IVA MCU 27.0, which expands the capabilities of managing online events and makes system administration more convenient.

The updated version provides access to the chat history of completed events. Users and organizers can view shared and personal chats by clicking on the link to the event materials. The history of messages is saved taking into account moderation rules and contains information about the sender, the time of sending or approval, as well as the text of messages, which increases the transparency and manageability of communications.

The mechanisms for managing the rights of participants have been significantly expanded. The system has a separate right "View Documents," which allows you to flexibly restrict the access of ordinary participants to the materials of events and rooms. The logic of the waiting room has been updated: now it can be applied to all participants, including invitees, with the ability to return the user to the waiting room directly from the list of participants or the profile card of the active event.

To increase the convenience of connection, the function of automatic collection of WebRTC participants when activating the room is implemented. The customization is available at the level of event templates, participant parameters and in the administrative interface, which simplifies the start of sessions and reduces the burden on organizers.

This release also revised the participant registration and questionnaire forms. The organizers were able to manage the obligation of the "Email" and "Phone" fields depending on the tasks of the event: the obligation of the "Email" field is configured in the questionnaire, and the "Phone" fields are configured both in the registration form and in the questionnaire. This allows you to be more flexible in collecting contact data and tailor forms to specific scenarios of interaction with participants.

In terms of integration and enterprise scenarios, the IVA MCU has a REST API for the delegation of access rights to calendars of other users with support for several levels of access - from basic viewing to complete event management. In addition, LDAP users are allowed to edit non-synchronizable profile fields, including uploading a photo, with a list of restrictions passed through the client API.

Significant improvements have affected platform administration. The management interface provides advanced navigation through all sections with lists, expanded settings for hybrid subscriptions, including restrictions on the number of participants and management of speaker status. For distributed installations, the call routing algorithm has been improved, and file work has been optimized by monitoring data integrity and flexible configuration of download parameters.

In this IVA MCU update, we focused on developing platform manageability and scalability. Enhanced participant rights, chat history access, and updated waiting room scenarios give organizers more control over events, and new API methods and advanced administrative settings make it easier to integrate the solution into the enterprise IT landscape and further scale it. The update reflects IVA Technologies' system approach to the development of the IVA MCU as a professional videoconferencing server for corporate and government organizations, which combines functionality with reliability and compliance with information security requirements. said Viktor Petrov, Deputy General Director for Research and Development at IVA Technologies.

IVA MCU 25.0 with Call Transfer and Hold in both p2p and group scenarios

IVA Technologies has released an updated version of the professional video conferencing service IVA MCU 25.0. The update covers several key areas at once: call management, event organization, system stability, integration and security. This version makes daily communication easier and large-scale broadcasts manageable and flexible.

All clients (Web, Desktop, iOS and Android) now have call transfer and hold functions available, both in p2p and in group scenarios. This means that the user can not only put the interlocutor on hold, but also transfer the call to another participant. For example, in technical support, the operator can simultaneously conduct two conversations, combine them if necessary, and then leave the conversation, transferring the user to the next specialist.

In the web version of the platform, several participants can broadcast their desktops in parallel in a common video stream. The multiple screen display function is available in system template-based events and allows you to quickly switch between information sources. The update is useful for cross-functional commands when different project blocks are presented at the same time, or for training employees where they need to compare interfaces, diagrams and materials. Also, when you leave the room, the user is removed from the list of participants, and the room is removed from his list.

The organizers of the events received at their disposal new tools: monitoring the presence of participants at the event and the possibility of restoring the event. The desktop client has the functionality of a speech timer with flexible signal adjustment and display. Mobile clients got the opportunity to questionnaire when connecting to the event, support groups in events and DTMF teams in calls.

This version of IVA Connect Desktop 23.0 switched to WebRTC 2.0 and received architectural improvements to reduce the load on RAM. Thanks to this, the application functions stably even with long-term operation and a high number of active threads.

The system received mechanisms for distinguishing access rights to transcribing and subtitles of the speech recognition service based on IIIVA Terra - for both registered and external users. Licensing parameters have been added that limit the number of simultaneous events with AI functions. Now administrators, especially in the public sector and large corporations, can fine-tune the availability of intelligent features at the domain level without fear of exceeding limits.

Transcripts can be uploaded not only to TXT, but also in DOCX formats - separated by language: Russian, English and original. The new functionality is useful for subsequent editing, distribution and archiving of transcripts, especially in structures where mandatory meeting logging is carried out.

Organizers can also invite new participants or remove them from the current session.

The mobile application now supports the WebRTC API version 2.0, paving the way for the implementation of the SFU architecture and individual video streams. A restriction on the functionality of event chats with similar logic as in the Web version has also been introduced. The mechanism for working with TURN servers has changed - now data about servers is requested only after connection, which eliminates the possibility of leaking temporary credentials.

Similar to the iOS version, the Android application now supports calling participants via VVoIP, managing event participants and limiting chats. The updated WebRTC API 2.0 allows you to prepare for SFU support. Optimized performance at large events-Reduces workload by limiting the number of events and the amount of data transferred.

The desktop version has support for calling VVoIP participants, managing event participants and disabling chats. An important addition was subtitles in events: transcription of speech, real-time display, sorting by time, export in different languages ​ ​ and support for translation. Compatibility with RED OS 7.3 is ensured. Optimized performance by reducing processor load. Also, as in mobile versions, TURN servers are protected by delaying the receipt of temporary credentials.

The server side received support for disabling chats at the template and domain settings level, which is synchronized with client applications. Updated system notifications - multiple active messages can now be used at the same time. Integrated with InfoWatch via ICAP - now you can check both chat text messages and downloadable files in asynchronous DLP processing mode. The updated REST API now supports user chat management, search for events and documents, as well as event participants - this improves integration with external systems.

Compatible with Jabra PanaCast cameras

IVA Technologies and Jabra on December 13, 2021 announced the full compatibility of the Jabra PanaCast line of smart cameras for collective and individual work, Jabra headsets and speakerphones with the Russian IVA MCU video conferencing system.

According to the reports of various research and analytical agencies, in recent years the market for unified communications has been growing very dynamically both worldwide and in Russia. For example, according to IVA Technologies' own estimates, the volume of the domestic market in 2020 grew to about $300 million, against $200 million a year earlier. To a large extent, this was influenced by a pandemic that forced many employers to transfer employees to a remote mode of work, and training to a remote format.

The widespread use of unified communications, and in particular, AEROSPACE FORCES has led to increased demand for endpoints. And even at some point in time, there was a shortage of headsets and video cameras, without which it is impossible to imagine a normal video communication session. But now the situation has stabilized and the customer has a choice, - said the Victor Petrov head of the IVA R&D Technologies center. - We, as a developer, can only recommend to customers the peripherals that we tested for compatibility with our products. Now Jabra products are officially included in this list.

We are pleased to announce the compatibility of Jabra solutions with the Russian video conferencing platform. Thanks to our integration, state organizations, where high requirements for reliable and secure interaction through VKS are imposed, will have a full set of opportunities for convenient collaboration, negotiations or meetings with remote offices and employees, distance learning. They will be able to reduce costs and speed up decision-making processes with our professional audio and video solutions and the IVA MCU platform. Partnership with IVA Technologies will strengthen the position of our companies in the market, - said Galina Carlson, Regional Director of Jabra in Russia, CIS, Georgia and Ukraine.

IVA MCU v.10

IVA Technologies On June 29, 2021, the company announced the release of the next version of the corporate unified communications platform - IVA MCU v.10. Users have at their disposal advanced capabilities for working with various documents, as well as "waiting rooms." Major changes affected the part of the platform used by administrators: it became possible to connect and configure several at the same time, and the system servers LDAP configuration and administration functions were expanded.

One of the innovations was the appearance of "waiting rooms" in the system, where uninvited users automatically get when trying to connect to the event. At the same time, they do not see each other, but in anticipation of connection they can configure and check their equipment. In turn, the conference moderator displays a list of those waiting where he can quickly accept or deny the login request.

The second large "user" add-on is the ability to fully manage folders in the event. If earlier conference participants could work in the vault only with files, now, thanks to folders, documents can be structured, which means it is easier to find them and generally work with them.

In terms of system changes, it became possible to simultaneously connect and configure several LDAP servers to one logical domain. At the same time, it has become easier and more convenient for the platform administrator to monitor their work by being able to view the list of users and provide advanced information about possible errors during operation and synchronization. The tools for configuring, filtering users and administering the system have also been significantly improved.

"Our team is constantly working on the development of the IVA MCU platform, striving to make it better and more convenient for users. It was in this version that at least two important and most noticeable changes were reflected - the "waiting room" and the expansion of the functionality of the event file storage, "said the director of R&D the IVA Technologies center Victor Petrov.
