  • Camera/Mic Setup page: Is now improved. Testing your camera and mic is now a much quicker process.  Do a test recording right there on the setup page to ensure that your Camera and Mic are properly set up. 
  • First time users now see unique instructional welcome messages. 
  • Twitter Promotion:  New users are now encouraged to authenticate their Twitter account earn a level up and earn coins.
