We are pleased to announce the release of Veyon 4.11.3. This patch release contains minor improvements and bug fixes. Most notably, a new setting has been introduced that allows you to configure how computer screens are displayed in the monitoring view. When required by privacy policies, all thumbnails can be blurred by default, meaning that only the teacher can see the actual screen contents in the slideshow or spotlight panel, or when accessing them explicitly. Alternatively, the preview can be disabled completely, showing only the user and/or host names. The Entra ID Connector add-on can now use user groups as locations. For each group member, all devices associated with that user (as the primary user) are shown in the relevant group. We also fixed a regression in the Internet Access Control add-on which unintentionally restored Internet access after 5 minutes.

All downloads for this release are available in the download area.
