Incident

Huddles not working for some Windows users

Issue summary:
On March 5, 2024 from 6:05 PM PST to March 6, 2024 8:17 AM PST customers on the Windows operating systems reported that Huddles were freezing when screen sharing.
We determined that a recent change that was made to the video codec of Huddles, which may have been moving more of the video encoding to the computer's Graphic Processing Unit. This would cause performance problems & freezing during a screen share.
After narrowing down the exact cause we rolled back the change which restored full functionality to Huddles screen sharing.
