  • Upgrade Management:
    • Displays the room system’s upgrade status and its current software version
    • Select your preference of Release Channel for the upgrade timing of your room system and click Update:
      • General Availability: This is the default setting. General Availability is the official release version that has been tested and proven stable for general use.
      • Preview: Provides early access to the General Availability version and is typically used on a small subset of systems for IT admins to verify the upcoming release. Usually released a week before general availability.
      • Hotfix: Only recommended to use if your system requires an urgent bug fix. Lifesize Support will recommend moving to this channel when a fix is available and can assist with moving systems to this channel. When the fix is included in the next General Availability release, you can change your release channel setting back to General Availability.
    • In rare cases where you need your room system locked on a specific version, please contact Lifesize Support. Once a system is locked, the release channel will show as Locked. You can unlock by selecting another channel.
