The VGo and the VGo App software are continually being enhanced.  The current software version is 1.5.0 .  The VGo and the VGo App software versions do not have to be the same, however, if they are not, some features may not be available.  We recommend that all VGo elements always have the latest released software.

VGo software is downloaded directly to the VGo over its network connection.  You will be notified when a new version is available. To check the version number, from the main menu on the VGo

• select Settings, then select Version Information

VGo PC App software is downloaded from the VGo website by users who have active VGo accounts (usually created by an adminstrator in the organization that owns the VGo(s).  To check the version number, from the VGo App log-in screen or Contact list screen

• select Settings (found at the bottom), then select the About tab

What's new in version 1.5.0

Support for Apple Mac computers

• The same easy to use interface and all the same features as the Windows PC SW.  Note: the Mac version is currently in beta.

5X Zoom

• The user can remotely zoom the VGo's view up to 5X without loss of resolution

Audio only Mute

• The user can now remotely Mute only their audio (that is reproduced by the VGo). Their live video continues to be displayed on the VGo's screen.  Video and audio mute (together) is still available.

Network Firewall Port Tester

• Using the VGo App, users can test their network connection to determine if the firewall ports required for the VGo solution are open or closed.

Other enhancements

• Auto Update On / Off Setting - Enables adminstrators to decline a VGo software update so as not to interrupt VGo availabilty for users.
• Max video data rate has been increased to 768K for better performance on lower quailty networks.
• On the VGo App, Settings are available prior to log-in.
• Improved video quality
• Fixes and security improvements

What's new in version 1.4.2

Auto Re-dock

• The VGo now will automatically re-dock itself if accidently bumped out of place

Relay call maximum bitrate has been increased from 200k to 400k in both directions

• Improves A/V quality significantly particularly when the end to end network connection is not the best.  STUN connections continue to operate up to 400K.

VGo PC App UI enhancements

• Dock button now turns green when docking is available and flashes green when auto-docking is in progress.
• The video call window closes automatically after user selects “Hangup”.
• Help is now available everywhere by clicking on help icon (question mark “?”).

• Double clicking anywhere on VGo name/location line in the Contact list will now immediately initiate a connection with that VGo. Double clicking on a person (not a VGo) in the Contact list will still only open a text chat window initially – clicking on the green camera icon will continue to launch a video call to that contact.
