“Everything seems brighter, everything’s clearer, the audio is great.” - Danny Ward, Design and Strategy Lead for AV at BT Group
We launched C1, our AI-driven videobar, just one month ago, and we’ve been blown away by the feedback. It's amazing to see the impact it's already having on meetings. And now, C1 also offers Collaboration Mode and even better audio for music and voices – all just an update away.
What’s new in release 1.9.9
- Collaboration Mode joins Speaker Mode and Group Framing for more flexible video experiences
- Enhanced audio performance with fuller sound and consistent voice levels for everyone
- Improved stability and reliability across long meetings, and more

New Collaboration Mode and enhanced audio performance
With this update, Huddly C1 offers a full range of framing experiences: Speaker Mode highlights the active speaker, and Group Framing keeps everyone in view. Now, you also get Collaboration Mode!
Collaboration Mode dynamically switches between speaker and listener views, drawing inspiration from TV and podcast production for more engagement in team meetings and workshops. It allows interaction with the whole team, not just the speaker.
We’ve also enhanced C1’s audio capabilities. Babak Moussakhani, Huddly’s Technical Product Manager for Audio Technology comments: “Even though the size of the C1 is much smaller than most videobars in the market, it can deliver a higher volume. Now, it delivers even richer, deeper sound through an updated equalizer that is able to bring out lower frequencies. With Refined Automatic Gain Control, we ensure consistent voice levels, regardless of speaking volume, without increasing background noise.”
Together, these enhancements mean C1 handles meetings with ease and delivers an audio experience that far exceeds what most people expect from a videobar.
