'''VidyoDesktop 3 Goes Live!'''
 
Thanks to those who provided feedback on Vidyo 3, we've used it to fix a few things and now its ready for prime time. A mandatory and automatic update will be pushed on Monday morning, April 21st - for those that want to check out the client now, the download link is noted below [1]. Ample notice will be provided before v2 is no longer supported.
 
Some of the new features include:
* Simplified UI w/ no Flash (means fewer crashes for you)!
* Client auto sign-in w/ secure token (you no longer need to frequently type in your LDAP password to login)
* Enhanced echo-cancellation for all OSs (especially for Macs!)
* Ability to join any meeting by clicking a Vidyo room URL
* Improved support and stability for Linux
 
Support Documentation:
https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/display/SD/Vidyo+Desktop+3
 
If you have any questions - please submit a Service Now request, reach out to servicedesk@mozilla.com, or ask in #servicedesk

'''NOTE:''' After upgrading/installing the Vidyo client will ask you to upgrade to an older version, please select "Not Now". You will no longer be prompted after 4/21/14.
 
 
'''MOC Update'''
* The Mozilla Operations Center (MOC) is now staffed 24/7, and has begun the transition away from third-party incident handling.
* The MOC has identified the top IT Services & Systems, and published an SLA framework for Incident handling.
These efforts are to ensure more consistent and timely IT incident handling and communication.
