Het is verkrijgbaar voor de gangbaarste besturingssystemen en is beschikbaar in een gratis en betaalde uitvoering met meer mogelijkheden. Het programma is sinds kort ook in het Nederlands te gebruiken. De changelog voor deze uitgave is hieronder te vinden.

Chat response to Meeting InvitationWhen a user invites another contact to an active meeting, the recipient can decline the invite and include a message to the person inviting them, explaining why they cannot currently attend. This response is now displayed in the meeting, rather than solely in associated Team Chat 1:1 for those users.Removal of non-video panelists when sharing contentWhen panelists share their screen or a video, if no panelists have their video enabled, they will be hidden to direct focus on the shared content instead of their video-off tile. Previously, video-off tiles would remain on screen next to the shared content.
