With the new Opencast update, recordings are now automatically provided with English subtitles - even if the event was held in German. This improves accessibility for international students and employees of TU Wien and supports more inclusive communication at TU Wien.

Management UI

The view in the Management UI has been improved. Videos are now not only listed with all associated information, but also displayed in a compact view with a preview image and the most important key data - for a quicker overview and easier navigation.
