1.8.9

Changelog

1.8.9

Hats, headbands and costumes sit on the real head in real calls, 19 new 3D
effects (411 in all), a search box for the 3D effects, the fix for Node's
Brotli flaw, and a nightly automatic update that now also brings new Node,
Alpine and coturn.

Added

• 19 new 3D effects, made on the measured real head: fedora (tips itself
  when you raise your brows), straw boater, flat cap, Robin Hood hat with a
  swinging feather, Nordic pom-pom beanie, Christmas stocking cap with a bell,
  earmuffs with frosty breath, alien antennae, New Year 2027 crown with
  confetti, holly headband, 80s sweatband, ski goggles on the forehead that
  drop onto your eyes, swim cap and goggles with bubbles, Saturn rings, a
  sleepy panda on your head that wakes up, mirrored aviators that slide down
  your nose, hippie shades, retro cat-eye glasses, googly-eye glasses
• Search the 3D effects: a box at the top of the 3D effects tab filters as
  you type, in every language of the app (Italian, English, French, German),
  by section ("masks", "costumes"…) or just "animals". Partial words work
  ("kitt" finds kittens); several words must all match. Esc or × clears it,
  Enter jumps to the first result
• Nightly automatic update, rebuilt:
  aggiorna-tutto.sh, scheduled by installa-aggiornamento.sh every night at
  05:00 Italian time (systemd timer, cron as a fallback). Every night it
  downloads the latest node:22-alpine, so security fixes in Node and Alpine
  actually arrive (before, the image downloaded the first time stayed forever);
  updates coturn when a new image is out, with its own check and rollback;
  rebuilds by itself after a patch, when Dockerfile or code differ from the
  last successful build; computes the npm updates in a throwaway container
  that only gets package.json and the lock file; holds back a dependency
  that has an upper limit (e.g. "mediasoup": ">=3.14 <4"); after the
  restart the app must answer and must not restart by itself for 20 seconds,
  otherwise everything goes back as it was. The email says what happened (app,
  Node, coturn) and gives the exact command to go back. Postponing during
  meetings, --force, realigning old versions inside the image and the
  major/minor/patch table all stay. auto-update.sh and install-cron.sh
  still work and hand over to the new names; the new installer removes the
  old 08:00 schedule

Security

• Node's Brotli flaw (CVE-2026-111497, October 2026): the server no longer
  accepts compressed request bodies (gzip, deflate, brotli: no Tiditalk client
  sends them), so the flaw can't be reached whatever the Node version. The
  Dockerfile stops the build with a clear message if the Node image is still
  an affected one (fixed in 22.23.4 / 24.22.1 / 26.12.1) and tells you to
  rebuild with docker compose build --pull. The nightly report also lists
  the Node version

Fixed

• Hats and headbands sit on the real head in real calls. With a webcam a
  bit below the face, hats floated above the head and you could see inside
  them. The causes, rebuilt from real call screenshots:
  • the head the effects are drawn against stopped at the hairline: now it
    has the real skull (3–4 cm taller and longer), so the inside of hats and
    the back of bands and brims no longer show;
  • the head rotation from MediaPipe was off by 5–10° with a beard, a hand in
    front of the mouth or a turned head: now it is refined on the points of
    the upper face, on webcams only;
  • scarves, collars and capes followed the whole tilt of the head: now they
    bend less than the head, like a real neck;
  • many hats had their crown about 5 cm in front of the real axis of the head
    and some effects were fitted on thick hair: hats, caps, helmets,
    headbands, headphones, horns, ears and wigs were moved one by one onto the
    real head (bowler, fisherman, witch, wizard, chef, party, top hat, elf,
    bucket, cowboy, beanie, cat-ear headphones and the others)
• Costumes and accessories: Italy fan and Halloween witch hats now fit
  over the forehead with a dark lining (no light "lid" seen from below);
  scarves, ruffs, capes, wings, tail and the pirate's parrot follow the body;
  the starry and bunny hoods frame the face instead of sticking out in front
  of the cheeks; the far side of the Venetian mask hides when you turn; the
  puppy and hamster stay on your shoulder when you tilt your head; mushroom,
  strawberry, froggy and teddy hats and the sleepy zzz got dark linings

1.8.8

175 new 3D face effects (392 in all): animals with real fur, kawaii animals,
characters and costumes, cute accessories, fun and Halloween effects, new face
paints. Plus the fixes from a full check of 1.8.0–1.8.7.

Added

• Animals with real fur (32): tabby kitten, black cat, white Persian,
  Siamese, ginger cat, shiba, golden and pug puppies, tiger and lion cubs, red
  panda, giant panda, raccoon, lop-eared bunny, hamster, red fox, koala joey,
  polar bear cub, wolf pup, piglet, penguin chick, little owl, unicorn. Soft fur
  that lags a little behind the head, glossy eyes that blink one at a time and
  look where you look, a real mouth with tongue that opens, smiles, frowns and
  kisses. On your own face: puppy, kitty, bunny, teddy and fawn faces, a kitten
  or a hamster on your head, kittens peeking from behind your shoulders, a
  puppy on your shoulder. On slow computers the fur gets lighter by itself
• Kawaii animals (29): round toy-like heads with big shiny eyes and pink
  cheeks — bunny, kitten, puppy, plush teddy, froggy, chick, chubby hamster,
  penguin, piglet, axolotl, fox cub, fawn, panda, koala, calf, lamb, baby seal,
  otter, hedgehog, octopus, sloth, mouse, lion cub, unicorn, baby dragon — plus
  a froggy and a duckling on your head, a bunny peeking from your shoulder and a
  hamster on your shoulder
• Characters and costumes (25): bearded pirate, viking, wizard, witch,
  Santa, Christmas elf, vampire count, fairy, caped hero and heroine, screen-face
  robot, hooded skeleton, mummy, stitched monster, Halloween zombie; Roman
  centurion, pirate with a parrot that squawks when you open your mouth, king,
  starry hood, samurai, pharaoh, fairy-tale princess, detective with a pipe,
  firefighter, snow queen. Picking an effect again is instant, and the video
  doesn't freeze while a character is prepared
• Fun and Halloween (37), triggered by your face: confetti, balloons,
  fireworks, fairy dust, autumn leaves and cherry blossoms when you smile; a
  rainbow, a ghost parade, a pie in the face or a jack-o'-lantern hat when you
  open your mouth wide; a head on fire or a storm cloud (sun and rainbow when you
  smile) when you frown; laser eyes or falling shades when you raise your
  brows; bubbles, a party blower, birthday candles and flying kisses when you
  blow; dizzy stars with your eyes closed; butterflies, heart eyes, cartoon
  tears, comic BOOM, angel wings, devil horns and tail, witch with bats, Santa
  hat with snow, reindeer, jester, Venetian mask, Easter bunny, Italy fan,
  chef, firefighter with hose, doctor, miner, pilot. Talking doesn't set them off
• Cute accessories (27): bouncy ear headbands (teddy, mouse with cheese,
  kitty with bow and bell, fox, floppy bunny) that perk up when you raise your
  brows and droop when you frown, blossom antlers, polka-dot and twin bows,
  teddy beanie, bunny hood, froggy hat whose eyes blink with yours, strawberry
  and toadstool hats, a chick in its eggshell, a cupcake, a melting ice cream, a
  donut, a smiling avocado and kawaii sushi on your head, kawaii blush, rainbow
  and little clouds, anime sweat drop and anger mark, sleepy zzz with a nose
  bubble when you close your eyes, a singing birdie, a little snail, a strolling
  ladybug and a buzzy bee that lands on your nose
• 25 new face paints: tabby cat, white tiger, snow leopard, arctic fox,
  scaled dragon, mermaid, monarch butterfly, painted flower crown, Catrina, gold
  and black skull, harlequin, Colombina, black half-mask, Pierrot, spiral tattoo,
  neon cyber make-up, geometric glitter, festival gems, and the flags of
  Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Japan, Mexico and Canada

Fixed

• Present again with audio: cancelling the browser's screen picker ended
  the presentation that was running. Now you choose the screen first and the
  old presentation stops only after that
• Use an audio device: if sending the chosen input failed, it was left open
  (a microphone or BlackHole stayed on); now it is closed again
• +N tile: someone hidden in it who raises their hand now comes into view by
  themselves
• Zoom on a shared screen: Ctrl/⌘ + plus, minus and 0 did nothing (and
  Ctrl + plus zoomed the whole page) when the shared screen appeared under a
  mouse that had not moved
• Pre-join: initials of names with parentheses or symbols follow the 1.8.0
  rule there too («Giuseppe (Sciarra)» is GS, it was «G(»)
• Questions: the Ask a question… placeholder is translated in English,
  French and German

Repository

• The 1.8.7 commit on GitHub contained only the 12 files of the update and
  removed the other 626 files of the project (styles, scripts, part of the
  server, fonts, sounds, backgrounds and all the 3D effects). They are back: the
  repository is again the complete program. Servers updated with the 1.8.7 zip
  were not affected

Update

• Only docker compose up -d --build

1.8.7

Tiditalk 1.8.7

Si sente l'audio di quello che presenti: un video di YouTube, una timeline di DaVinci Resolve.

Correzioni

• L'audio dello schermo si cattura come audio, non come voce: al browser si chiede l'audio della scheda e del sistema senza cancellazione dell'eco, riduzione del rumore e volume automatico (rovinavano musica e video), e con «Condividi anche l'audio di sistema» dove il browser lo permette. La scheda della riunione non compare più fra quelle da scegliere (rimbomberebbe)

Novità

• Chi presenta sa se gli altri sentono l'audio: se la presentazione parte senza audio compare una scheda con cosa fare in quel browser. Per YouTube e i video nel browser: condividere la scheda con «Condividi anche l'audio della scheda». Per un programma: su Windows «Schermo intero» con «Condividi anche l'audio di sistema»; sul Mac serve un dispositivo audio virtuale. Firefox e Safari non possono condividere l'audio dello schermo. «Presenta di nuovo con l'audio» riparte con un clic. Sul riquadro «Il tuo schermo» una pillola dice «Con audio» o «Senza audio» (cliccandola torna l'aiuto)
• Usa un dispositivo audio: un ingresso audio a scelta diventa l'audio della presentazione (stereo, senza filtri), per esempio BlackHole sul Mac per far sentire DaVinci Resolve o un altro programma

Aggiornamento

Basta docker compose up -d --build.

---

Tiditalk 1.8.7 (English)

The audio of what you present (a YouTube video, a DaVinci Resolve timeline).

Fixed

• Screen audio is captured as audio, not as a voice: the browser is asked
  for tab and system audio without echo cancellation, noise suppression and
  automatic volume (they ruined music and videos), and for Also share system
  audio where the browser allows it. The meeting tab itself is no longer
  offered in the picker (it would echo)

Added

• Presenting without audio is no longer silent for the presenter: if the
  presentation starts without audio, a card explains what to do in that
  browser. Present again with audio restarts the sharing in one click. A pill
  on Your screen says With audio or No audio (click it for help)
• Use an audio device: send any audio input as the presentation audio
  (stereo, no voice filters), for example BlackHole on a Mac to let the others
  hear DaVinci Resolve or another app

Upgrade

Just docker compose up -d --build.

1.8.6

Tiditalk 1.8.6

Effetti viso 3D che si riprendono da soli quando il browser rifiuta per un momento la grafica 3D.

Correzioni

• «Gli effetti 3D non sono disponibili in questo browser» fino al ricaricamento della pagina: Chrome può rifiutare la grafica 3D (WebGL 2) per un momento, per esempio sui MacBook di qualche anno quando la scheda grafica è sotto sforzo o la parte grafica di Chrome riparte. Tiditalk controllava una volta sola e si teneva quel «no» finché non si ricaricava la pagina. Ora il «no» dura pochi secondi: il pannello Effetti avvisa che riprova, riprova da solo (e con «Riprova ora») e riempie la scheda 3D appena la grafica torna
• Un effetto 3D che non parte si riprova da solo una volta dopo un attimo; il motore 3D si ricrea se il browser lo rifiuta la prima volta, e quello rimasto a metà si chiude per non tenere occupata la grafica
• Grafica 3D persa a effetto acceso (scheda grafica ripartita): l'effetto si rifà da solo

Novità

• Diagnostica nel log del server: quando il browser rifiuta la grafica 3D, un effetto non parte, la grafica torna o si perde, compare una riga [CONN] … fx3d con il motivo e il nome della scheda grafica (docker logs tdt-app | grep fx3d)

Aggiornamento

Basta docker compose up -d --build.

Tiditalk 1.8.6 (English)

3D face effects that recover by themselves when the browser briefly refuses 3D
graphics.

Fixed

• "3D effects are not available in this browser" until reloading the page:
  Chrome can refuse 3D graphics (WebGL 2) for a moment, for example on older
  MacBooks when the graphics card is busy or Chrome's graphics process restarts.
  Tiditalk checked only once and kept that "no" until the page was reloaded.
  Now the "no" lasts a few seconds: the Effects panel says it will try again,
  retries by itself (and with Try again now) and fills the 3D tab as soon as
  the graphics are back
• A 3D effect that fails to start is tried again once by itself after a
  moment, and the 3D engine is created a second time if the browser refuses it
  the first time; a half-created engine is closed so it does not keep the
  graphics busy
• 3D graphics lost while an effect is on (graphics card restarted): the
  effect is rebuilt by itself

Added

• Diagnostics in the server log: a [CONN] … fx3d line with the reason and
  the graphics card name when the browser refuses 3D graphics, an effect fails,
  or the graphics come back or get lost (docker logs tdt-app | grep fx3d)

Upgrade

Just docker compose up -d --build.

1.8.5

Tiditalk 1.8.5

Novità

• Risposte scritte nelle Domande: sotto ogni domanda l'organizzatore ha «Scrivi la risposta»; la risposta compare sotto la domanda per tutti, anche per chi entra dopo, e la domanda passa a «Risposta data». Chi l'ha scritta la può modificare (compare «modificata») o togliere (la domanda torna da rispondere). Nel file per Excel c'è la colonna «Risposta scritta». Rispondono solo gli organizzatori, con controllo sul server
• Riunione in corso nella home: in cima alla card di sinistra, con «Entra» ed «Entra come secondo schermo», senza riscrivere il codice (il caso tipico: sei già in riunione dal portatile e apri la home dal secondo dispositivo). La scritta verde «1 riunione in corso» porta lì

Modifiche

• «Passa all'audio» diventa «Torna in chiamata» (tasto, avvisi e messaggio del server)
• «Entra come secondo schermo» non sta più sotto «Entra con codice»

Correzioni

• Gli avvisi lunghi nella stanza uscivano dalla pillola: ora vanno a capo dentro e restano centrati

Aggiornamento

Basta docker compose up -d --build.

---

Tiditalk 1.8.5 (English)

Added

• Written answers in Questions: under each question hosts can Write the
  answer; it shows under the question for everyone (also for people who join
  later) and the question moves to Answered. Whoever wrote it can edit it
  (marked edited) or remove it (the question goes back to waiting). The Excel
  download has a Written answer column. Only hosts can answer, checked by the
  server
• Meeting in progress on the home page: at the top of the left card, with
  Join and Join as a second screen, no code to type again. The green
  "1 meeting in progress" line leads there

Changed

• Switch to audio is now Back to the call (button, notices, server message)
• Join as a second screen is no longer under Join with code

Fixed

• Long notices in the room went out of their pill: now they wrap inside it and
  stay centred

Upgrade

Just docker compose up -d --build.

1.8.4: home senza barra di scorrimento sulla card di sinistra

Tiditalk 1.8.4

Correzioni

• Home su Windows: nella card di sinistra compariva una barra di scorrimento verticale in tutte le schede. Ora la card non scorre mai: scorre solo l'elenco di Recenti o Pianifica, e solo quando è più lungo della card

Aggiornamento

Basta docker compose up -d --build.

---

Tiditalk 1.8.4 (English)

Fixed

• Home page on Windows: a vertical scrollbar appeared on the left card in
  every tab. Now the card never scrolls: only the list in Recent or
  Schedule scrolls, and only when it is longer than the card

Upgrade

Just docker compose up -d --build.

1.8.3

Tiditalk 1.8.3

Riquadri che mostrano chi parla, menu ⋮ sui riquadri, una stanza più semplice sul telefono e il secondo schermo sempre a portata di mano.

Novità

• Indicatore della voce su ogni riquadro: un tondo in alto a destra con tre barrette che seguono la voce mentre la persona parla, oppure il microfono barrato su rosso quando è muta (anche sul tuo riquadro). Attorno a chi parla un bordo pieno nel colore d'accento, disegnato dentro il riquadro così niente si sposta. Più piccoli nei riquadri piccoli; niente indicatore sugli schermi condivisi e sul riquadro «+N»
• Videocamera spenta: il riquadro prende il colore dell'avatar della persona, con un cerchio grande con le iniziali che si adatta alla misura del riquadro e onde che si allargano mentre parla
• Telefono (in verticale fino a 640 px e in orizzontale): in alto solo il codice della stanza, «gira la videocamera» (se ce ne sono almeno due) e le casse; in basso cinque tasti grandi: microfono, camera, mano, Altro, Esci. «Altro» si apre dal basso con una griglia per Presenta, Disegna, Reazioni, Persone (col numero), Informazioni, Vista e Registra, poi le voci di sempre e tema, suoni di notifica, lingua, guida rapida, invita e impostazioni. La chat ha un pulsante flottante a destra col numero dei messaggi non letti. Il tuo video è di base una finestrella trascinabile (finché non scegli altro in «Vista»)
• Menu ⋮ su ogni riquadro (al passaggio del mouse) e accanto a ogni nome nella lista Persone. Per gli organizzatori: Fissa per me, Fissa per tutti (fino a 3 riquadri, con la scritta «Fissata per tutti da …»; ognuno può comunque fare «Sblocca per me»), Schermo intero, Silenzia (solo quella persona), Rimanda in sala d'attesa e Rimuovi (con conferma). Per ospiti e partecipanti: Fissa per me e Schermo intero. Il server controlla ogni comando da organizzatore
• Entra come secondo schermo dalla home: sotto «Entra» in «Entra con codice» e accanto alle riunioni in corso in «Recenti», per gli utenti registrati che saltano la schermata d'ingresso
• Usa come secondo schermo nel menu Altro dentro la stanza: microfono e videocamera si chiudono, le casse vanno in muto e il tuo riquadro sparisce per gli altri, senza uscire dalla riunione; «Passa all'audio» riporta tutto com'era. Resta anche dopo una caduta di rete

Modifiche

• Home: al computer le due card sono sempre alte uguali; le liste lunghe (Recenti, Pianifica) scorrono dentro la card
• Il segnale di rete sui riquadri si vede solo passando col mouse, e sempre se la connessione è scarsa (sul telefono solo se è scarsa)
• La vecchia barra di chi parla e il pallino rosso del muto in basso a destra sono sostituiti dal nuovo indicatore
• Al computer e sul tablet la fascia in alto e la barra dei comandi restano esattamente come nella 1.8.2

Aggiornamento

Basta docker compose up -d --build.

Tiditalk 1.8.3 (English)

Tiles that show who is talking, a ⋮ menu on tiles, a simpler room on phones and the second screen always at hand.

Added

• Voice indicator on every tile: a round badge at the top right with three
  bars that follow the voice while the person talks, or a crossed-out
  microphone on red when they are muted (also on your own tile). A solid ring
  in the accent colour around whoever is talking, drawn inside the tile so
  nothing moves. Smaller badge and ring on small tiles; nothing on shared
  screens and on the +N tile
• Camera off: the tile takes the colour of the person's avatar, with a large
  circle with the initials that scales with the tile and rings that spread out
  while the person talks
• Phones (portrait up to 640 px and landscape): at the top only the room
  code, switch camera (when there are at least two cameras) and the
  speakers; at the bottom five large buttons: microphone, camera, hand, More,
  Leave. More opens as a sheet from the bottom with a grid for Present,
  Draw, Reactions, People (with the count), Info, View and Record, then the
  usual items and theme, notification sounds, language, quick guide, invite
  and settings. The chat has a floating button on the right with the unread
  count. Your own video is a small draggable window by default (until you
  choose otherwise in View)
• Menu ⋮ on every tile (on mouse over) and next to every name in the People
  list. Hosts: Pin for me, Pin for everyone (up to 3 tiles, with "Pinned for
  everyone by …" on the tile; everyone can still Unpin for me), Full
  screen, Mute (that person only), Send back to the waiting room and
  Remove (with confirmation). Guests and participants: Pin for me and Full
  screen. Every host command is checked by the server
• Join as a second screen from the home page: under Join in Join with
  code and next to ongoing meetings in Recent, for registered users who
  skip the pre-join screen
• Use as second screen in More inside the room: microphone and camera
  close, speakers are muted and your tile disappears for the others, without
  leaving the meeting; Switch to audio brings everything back. It survives a
  reconnection

Changed

• Home page: the two cards always have the same height on computers; long
  lists (Recent, Schedule) scroll inside the card
• The network signal on the tiles shows only on mouse over, and always when the
  connection is poor (on phones only when it is poor)
• The old speaking bar and the red mute dot at the bottom right of the tiles
  are replaced by the new badge
• Computers and tablets keep the top bar and the control bar exactly as in
  1.8.2

Upgrade

1.8.2

Tiditalk 1.8.2

Chat, notifiche e schermo condiviso, più vicini a Google Meet.

Novità

• Messaggi fissati nella chat: gli organizzatori fissano fino a 3 messaggi in cima alla chat (il server controlla che sia un organizzatore); li vede anche chi entra dopo e il clic porta al messaggio
• Reazioni sui messaggi: 👍 ❤️ 😂 😮 🙏 con il conteggio sotto il fumetto; passando sopra si vede chi ha reagito, la stessa emoji una seconda volta toglie la tua
• Risposta con citazione: «Rispondi» mette il messaggio citato sopra il tuo, il clic sulla citazione porta all'originale
• Link cliccabili nella chat: solo http, https e www, si aprono in una scheda nuova; tutto il resto resta testo semplice
• «Laura sta scrivendo…» sopra il campo della chat
• Notifiche in basso a sinistra: ingressi, uscite, messaggi della chat e registrazione (avviata, fermata, salvata) arrivano come schede in pila sopra la barra, con le iniziali e il colore della persona e l'orario. Sotto i messaggi c'è «Rispondi…», che manda senza aprire la chat. Le schede vecchie si attenuano e spariscono da sole, col mouse sopra restano. Sul telefono una sola scheda compatta. L'avviso delle mani alzate è l'ultima scheda della pila. Gli avvisi tecnici (microfono, rete, permessi) restano come prima
• Zoom sullo schermo condiviso: barra − % + e «Adatta», Ctrl/⌘ + rotellina o pizzico sul trackpad nel punto del cursore (dal 100 al 400%), trascina per spostarti, minimappa per scegliere la zona; Ctrl/⌘ + più, meno e 0 solo col mouse sopra lo schermo condiviso. Sul telefono pizzico e un dito per spostarsi. Disegni e laser restano allineati a qualsiasi zoom; «Salva immagine» e la registrazione prendono sempre lo schermo intero. Vale solo per chi guarda: al server non arriva niente
• Schermo condiviso in una nuova finestra (per il secondo monitor): usa lo stesso flusso video della riunione, senza scaricarlo due volte, con zoom, minimappa, disegni e laser in diretta. Nella riunione restano «Mostra la finestra» e «Riporta qui»; se chiudi la finestra lo schermo torna nella riunione, quando la presentazione finisce la finestra si chiude da sola

Modifiche

• Ingressi, uscite e messaggi della registrazione non sono più pillole in alto: sono schede in basso a sinistra
• Le risposte mandate da una notifica non contano come messaggi non letti
• La colonna delle reazioni parte sopra la pila delle notifiche

Aggiornamento

Basta docker compose up -d --build.

Tiditalk 1.8.2 (English)

Chat, notifications and the shared screen, closer to Google Meet.

Added

• Pinned messages in the chat: hosts pin up to 3 messages at the top of
  the chat (server-checked); people who join later see them too and a click
  jumps to the message
• Reactions on chat messages: 👍 ❤️ 😂 😮 🙏 with the count under the
  bubble; the tooltip says who reacted, the same emoji again removes yours
• Reply with a quote: Reply shows the quoted message above yours, a click
  on the quote jumps to the original (the server takes name and text from the
  history, the client only sends the message id)
• Clickable links in the chat: only http, https and www, opened in a new
  tab with noopener; everything else stays plain text
• "Laura is typing…" above the chat box
• Notifications at the bottom left: who joins and leaves, chat messages,
  recording started, stopped and saved arrive as cards stacked above the
  control bar, with the person's initials and colour and the time. Chat cards
  have a Reply… box that sends without opening the chat; older cards fade
  and leave by themselves, they stay while the mouse is over them. One compact
  card at a time on phones. The raised hands notice is the last card of the
  stack. Technical warnings (microphone, network, permissions) are unchanged
• Zoom on a shared screen: − % + and Fit bar, Ctrl/⌘ + wheel or trackpad
  pinch on the cursor point (100 % to 400 %), drag to move, a minimap to pick
  the area; Ctrl/⌘ + plus, minus and 0 only with the mouse over the shared
  screen. Pinch and one-finger drag on phones. Drawings and laser stay aligned
  with the content at any zoom; Save image and the recording still take the
  whole screen. Only for who is watching: nothing goes to the server
• Open the shared screen in a new window (for a second monitor): it uses the
  same video stream of the meeting (no extra download), with zoom, minimap,
  live drawings and laser; the room shows Show the window and Bring it
  back. If the window is closed the screen comes back to the room, when the
  presentation ends the window closes by itself

Changed

• Joins, leaves and recording messages are no longer pills at the top: they
  are notification cards at the bottom left
• Your own replies sent from a notification do not count as unread messages
• The reactions column starts above the notification stack

Upgrade

Just docker compose up -d --build.

1.7.0

Tiditalk 1.7.0 — 3D face effects like Meet

Added

• 3D face effects, like Meet: 228 effects that follow the head in 3D and
  copy your expressions, in a new Effetti 3D tab of the "Backgrounds and
  effects" panel, grouped like Meet: New, Characters (animals, robot,
  monsters, astronaut, strawberry… that open their mouth, blink and raise
  their eyebrows with you, and scenes with your face in a frame: shark,
  T-rex, diver, knight, sunflower), Fun (propeller cap, UFO, rain cloud
  that rains harder when you frown, orbiting hearts…), Costumes (hats and
  helmets), Hair (wigs: afro, long, bob, braids, mohawk…), Beard,
  Accessories (glasses, ears, headphones, crowns, earrings) and Face paint
  (zombie, old age, skulls, animals, clowns, superhero masks, gold and silver
  statue, flags on the cheeks… painted on the skin, they stretch with the
  mouth and the eyes). Each effect has a preview image. Hats and wigs are
  hidden behind the head when you turn, the painted masks stay on the skin
• The face is tracked by MediaPipe Face Landmarker (468 points of the face,
  head position and 52 expressions) in a separate thread (Web Worker): the
  call, the chat and the connection don't slow down while it works. The 3D is
  drawn with three.js; the position is predicted for the moment the frame
  is shown, so the effect does not lag behind fast head movements. On slow
  computers the 3D is drawn at a lower resolution by itself
• 40 effects come from free 3D models (CC0 / CC-BY 4.0 / Apache-2.0) in
  public/assets/effects3d/glb/, credits in glb/CREDITS.md; the others are
  written in code (AGPL like the rest). How to add one:
  public/assets/effects3d/README.md
• The libraries and the model (about 20 MB) are downloaded only the first
  time you open the Effetti 3D tab, with a notice; the browser keeps
  them afterwards

Changed

• More → Face effects opens the Effetti 3D tab. The old 2D face effects
  (emoji stickers) are in their own Classici tab, exactly as before
• A 3D effect stays when you change color style and when you turn the camera
  off and on; choosing a virtual background turns it off, as with the
  classic effects
• Browsers without WebGL 2 graphics see a notice in the Effetti 3D tab and
  keep the classic effects; if a 3D effect fails to start, it goes back to
  None with a message instead of leaving a black video
• Tested on Chrome (and Edge, Brave, Opera, which use the same engine),
  Firefox and WebKit (Safari's engine). On Safari before 17, which has no
  graphics inside a Web Worker, the face tracking runs on the page

Update

• Run bash setup-mediapipe.sh again: it now also downloads MediaPipe
  Tasks Vision and three.js into public/assets/vendor/. Then
  docker compose up -d --build

Downloads

• tiditalk-1.7.0-patch.zip: update from 1.6.0 (changed files + MediaPipe Tasks Vision and three.js, so setup-mediapipe.sh is not needed). Read LEGGIMI.txt.
• Source code: the zip/tarball GitHub attaches to the release.

1.6.0

🖥 Presenting, like Meet (but better)

• While someone shares their screen, the participants sit in a row above the shared screen. Tiles get smaller as more people join, down to a minimum size; after that the row scrolls (mouse wheel too). Works on phones as well.

✨ "Backgrounds and effects" side panel

• Replaces the old windows. It opens on the right like chat and polls, and full screen on phones.
• At the top, a live preview of yourself (only you see it). Below it, three tabs: Backgrounds, Face effects and Styles.
• The active choice is marked with a check, and the panel stays open while you try things. If your camera is off, there is a Turn on camera button.
• Open it from More, or from the ✨ button that appears when you hover over your own tile.
• Only one panel at a time: opening chat, people or polls closes it.

🖼 59 new backgrounds

• 56 photos: offices, living rooms, libraries, Cinque Terre, Venice, the Colosseum, nature, space, abstract and video games. setup-backgrounds.sh downloads them from Unsplash (free license).
• 3 original illustrations included in the repository: synthwave and two pixel-art scenes.
• The panel loads small thumbnails and fetches the full photo only when you pick it.
• A number in front of a file name sets the order and is not shown, so 03-meeting-room.jpg shows up third as "Meeting room".

🎨 More

• The animated shapes background now appears in calls too, always behind everything.

🛠 Fixes

• The speaking border no longer flickers in the pauses between words, for you or for the others. It now stays on until about a second of silence.
• Phone control bar during a presentation: with Present and Draw both visible, the buttons went off the screen. They now get slightly smaller, and none are removed.

v1.5.9

📷 The camera comes back by itself

• When FaceTime, Zoom, Teams… take the webcam (or it gets unplugged), Tiditalk turns the camera off, shows a message with Retry, and keeps trying on its own every 3 seconds (every 10 after 2 minutes), always on the same camera. As soon as it is free it is back on air — with the virtual background or face effect if one was on. A camera that opens but sends no images is not put on air.
• Retry and the camera button keep working; turning the camera off on purpose stops the retries.
• Turning the camera back on no longer needs a page reload (for a host, reloading used to send guests to the waiting room).

🛠 Fixes

• No more seeing yourself twice after a dropped connection.
• No orphan video on the receiving side: a video closed while another participant was still connecting to it used to stay open as a dead stream (sometimes a frozen or black tile).
• With a virtual background or face effect, a camera taken by another app is now detected and the effect is rebuilt when it returns: video without the effect is never sent.

Includes 1.5.8.
