A Better Connection
VideoConnect gave online players the option of having a unified desktop experience OR the convenience of using separate devices for Video and Scoring while connecting players effortlessly.
The dramatic increase in online darts challenged our original architecture and compromised the service for some. The team worked overtime this weekend to upgrade the hardware and interface to provide users with a better experience.
What’s New?
Updated User Interface
More than just a fresh coat of paint! In addition to the updated look and feel, we’ve improved VC’s interface to provide users with better information on their connection status and device compatibility.
Try It With Your Next Online Match
- More reliable connections
- Option to suppress camera & microphone permissions
- Ability to resize desktop split-screen
- Built-In WiFi speed test
The new Match List confirms your match status and helps identify connected opponents.
NOTE:
VideoConnect calls must now be started manually instead of starting automatically. To start a video call, click “Start VC” when it appears:
Expanded Browser Support
We’ve expanded browser support to include Firefox and Microsoft Edge, and optimized how VC handles camera and microphone permission settings.
Tired of Safari constantly asking for camera & microphone permissions?
See VC’s built-in help info for turning off these annoying notifications.
