Nicely done! @Charles @Olivia Clark
Personally, I'd love to have an AI account chime in with responses on different topics / replying to members. I know that could potentially muddy the conversation, but it could also be pretty innovative! 
Super cool to see this Live Topics feature in action though!

Even though we're not quite ready to go super in-depth about Live Topics, our live question and answer event platform built into Invision Community, we're very excited to share a sneak peak!
 
Let us know what you spot!

Hey there. Does this latest update allow for iPhone users to record audio/video into forum replies? I recall previously running into trouble with that. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. 

Welcome to this week's Invision Insight!
How's everyone liking the new look to Gallery?! We want to hear all of your feedback, so please visit this topic and take advantage of the testing phase so we can keep it all centralised for easy reference.
On other news, Live Topics is almost ready for its beta release! In December last year we mentioned this new feature coming to the suite and it is definitely something many communities will benefit from. I promise we will provide more details soon!
 
New Version
We have released a new beta version of Invision Community, 4.7.7 Beta 4.
For those that would like to try the beta on their communities, please follow the link below. Last week I wrote about how you can opt-in to beta releases for both Cloud and self-hosted clients.
As always, please back up your communities before upgrading to any beta releases.
 
GraphQL
The GraphQL API is here!
GraphQL describes itself as a query language for APIs that gives clients the power to ask for precisely what is needed and nothing more.
I won't go into too much detail here of course; but @Daniel F has got you covered and went into great detail to explain this new addition to Invision Community.
 
Recent Event
Our February 2023 Release Chat happened this week, but if you missed it, don't stress as you can watch the recording below. Please post your questions and we'll do our best to answer them.

See you in the community and next week right here for another Invision Insight! I look forward to hearing from you all!
Thank you everyone! 🦘

Just got word from the team that improving clubs functionality / organization is a priority and that a full sweep of Clubs is in the works 🙏 

Thanks for the suggestion! Anything that improves speed is eye-catching. 
Curious what the rest of the community thinks about this 🙂 

My community had ~12 at one point and only 3 were used and the rest were at less than 1% 😆. Not saying it's like that for everyone of course. 
On Invision Community, we removed the "sad" and "confused" reactions because they were extremely underutilized. 
Which reminds me, I'd love to see more green +1s 😂 

Well, you do.
Just kidding! 😁
It's never a wrong thing to voice your opinion. It's the way you do it that makes all the difference. I have no hesitation in giving credit where credit is due.

Welcome to this week's Invision Insight!
Well doesn't time just fly by?! We are a little over two weeks away from Christmas and well into the holiday season! I hope everyone's got their presents ready or at least has an idea of what to buy for their loved ones. I'm a last-minute man so I have so much time left before joining the crowds... 😅
For those following the World Cup ⚽, despite Australia being knocked out of the tournament by Argentina, my equally supported team from my roots, Portugal, has made it through to the quarterfinals! 🎉
I would love to hear what you are up to and are most excited about this time of year.
To keep you in the loop with Invision Community...
December 2022 Chat - In Summary
We received some feedback from the chat we hosted last week, (shoutout to @jesuralem), so I thought I'd provide a summary of key items discussed to offer everyone an opportunity to catch up on the latest from the team! For those that can, though, give the video a watch to get the full context. I hope you've got your reading glasses on...
Intro
Improved the software and user experience. Collaboration through our clients, community and the team, we identified needs and delivered additions and improvements. We planned to pivot where it made sense regarding feature requests and suggestions. Industry and client needs have changed, including during and post COVID-19. Goals for this year was content engagement and also on support communities, which have been a big driver of growth. Factor in time to fix bugs, do updates such as PHP 8 and build the tools needed to get people through the transition. Security and performance problems which we have to prepare for. It's a balancing act with new exciting features and necessary things required to ensure the software functions correctly. Refactor language system, which is time intensive, however required for functionality. Delivered

Thanks, @Jordan Miller!
The next one will be posted tomorrow. 🙂

Welcome to this week's Invision Insight!
We are getting so close to the silly season and whilst things may be slowing down for 2022, we are so excited for what is to come in 2023!
I am really enjoying the engagement from everyone lately and I want to take this opportunity to give you some confidence or relief, whichever is more relevant. Any feature suggestions, bug fixes or reports are all actively read and reviewed, and whilst I cannot promise every single thing will be implemented, it is definitely noticed and appreciated by the team. I thought it a good idea to address this having seen a few comments on Invision Community regarding not getting an answer to your topics. We will always do our best to reply to everyone and everything as they come up.
On other news, how are you all enjoying the FIFA World Cup? ⚽ What team/s are you supporting?
Do you have any travel plans over the Christmas and New Year break?
New Version
On 29 November, Invision Community released their most recent version of the software, 4.7.5.
As I mentioned last week, this release is the last one for 2022. We thank everyone for your support this year and can't wait to introduce some exciting new features in 2023. It's definitely going to be a very good (and busy) year!
Please ensure your communities are up to date to take full advantage of our product suite.
Please click here to read up on the full release notes.
Upcoming Event
The December Year in Review chat happened yesterday, and what a great job the team did communicating what we delivered in 2022, as well as providing an insight into what can be expected for the new year.
@Olivia Clark, @Charles and @Matt, you are all a wealth of knowledge and I'm sure I'm not the only one that is overly excited for 2023! Teamwork makes the dream work!
