An all new beta version of the Meraki App is available. This update reflects a complete overhaul of our existing iOS and Android apps to provide a modern mobile experience and complimentary dashboard experience.

Enhancements in Wireless Health, Alert Settings, VPN, Cameras, Clients, Switch ports, and VLANs! 

There are two new small changes to the dashboard packet capture tool.

• Packet captures will no longer default to being named "packet_capture.pcap". They will instead follow the following format (and can still be modified):
  [NetworkName]_[Model][DeviceName]_IF-[Interface].pcap

• The tool will default to "Download .pcap file" rather than "View output below"

Three change have been added to the dashboard for helping to troubleshoot, configure and keep track of users with Client VPN.

• On the Network-wide > Clients page, the search filter can now filter for Client VPN users
• The Client VPN page now has an FAQs tab with common troubleshooting issues and recommendations, as well as links to additional help.
• The Client VPN page now has descriptions of the configuration components, as well as link to additional information.

Video access logs now include external stream sharing links. The access log tracks when generated, viewed, extended or disabled.

• The "Recipient" column indicates the external email the link was shared to.
• The "User" column will be blank for entries pertaining to viewing the external link since these are non-Dashboard viewers.

When selecting an individual camera name from a video wall while viewing historical video, the timestamp from the video wall will carry over to video feed from the selected camera.

More information on viewing video can be found in our documentation on Viewing MV Video.

Video wall modifications are now displayed on the change log. Any action to add, delete or edit the video wall layouts are indicated on the organization change log.

New capabilities and visibility are now available to the Meraki dashboard to help simplify troubleshooting. Users can now pinpoint issues more quickly, and ensure excellent connectivity for clients. These updates are designed to not only provide insights about the health of Wi-Fi clients, but also to provide end-to-end visibility. Enhanced visibility will now allow for immediate identification of whether wireless is problematic, or if, for example, an upstream device is misconfigured.

Video wall visibility has been updated to reflect camera-only admin permissions. Camera-only admins will only see video walls if they have access to at least one camera within that layout. All other video walls in which the user does not have access to at least one camera will be hidden.

For more information, see our documentation on Video Walls.

Users can now add areas of interest to motion-based retention to extend storage duration for motion occurring in important areas. If areas of interested are enabled, motion events that occur outside of the selected regions from being retained for motion-based retention purposes.

The previously announced Trusted Access feature for Meraki MR and SM deployments is now available for Android devices. 

MR36, MR46, and MR56 provide a set of Wi-Fi 6 access point options for indoor high-density wireless environments.

The new MV22X and MV72X offer double the storage capacity of previous models, with the ability to record in higher resolution.

For iOS13+ devices, we're happy to announce the launch of our beta for iOS User Enrollment. iOS User Enrollment is a multi-persona enrollment option designed for companies implementing BYOD for iOS devices.
