This update included new features, improvements and minor bug fixes.

• Issue with file upload's autosave: is not deleted if not saved/updated by the user. Fixed
• In session editor, Added the option to display video files associated with each abstract in a session, right below each abstract. Admin simply have to select the video file to be run for the sub-session with option to enter direct URL to a video file. On the website, for each abstract with a video file, it would now display the button "Watch Live" besides the Take Survey button. Clicking on it would scroll user to the top and play the video. The "Watch Live" button would only display once user is checked-in.
• Issue with file upload's autosave: is not deleted if not saved/updated by the user. Fixed
• Vimeo integration and session editor's video upload changes - Created a Vimeo integration so if an organizer has a Vimeo account already and want all videos uploaded to their Vimeo account, they can connect their account with Dryfta. MP4, MOV, WMV, AVI, and FLV video formats allowed. In session editor, under presentation files, there's now a button "Add as session video" besides video files so admin can choose one of the videos they wish to play in the session. Added
• Brought back the option to upload video in session editor. Up to to 500MB. Updated
• In session editor, removed the video platform logos and now using only the custom URL field for entering direct video URL. Updated
