Twilio Changelog

The feature External Storage for Video Recordings is now available for all video customers. Customers can configure the Video Recordings service to push Recordings or Compositions directly to their AWS S3 Bucket without additional charges.

This Video Recordings feature allows builders to create a recording workflow that matches their specific use case and regulatory needs. For example, a customer in the Education space may decide to store the composed recordings of a virtual classroom into a custom S3 for data sovereignty preferences.

This feature was previously a part of Twilio Editions.

Twilio’s data center in Ireland and Twilio Voice, our first publicly regionalized channel within the European region, is now generally available. The availability of Twilio Voice in Ireland gives you control over where Voice data is ingested, processed, and stored, enabling you to keep personal data at rest within the region of your choice.

The Twilio Video Room Monitor is now generally available.

The Video Room Monitor is a browser-based tool that provides JavaScript developers visibility into the inner workings of their Twilio Video application. It displays real-time information and metrics from the Room object and can be added to any Twilio Video JavaScript application with just a few lines of code.

The Video Room Monitor can be used as a tool during all phases of development or can be forked, customized, and provided to end-users as an in-call troubleshooting view.

For more information on the Video Room Monitor, see the documentation or visit the README.

As noted on 10/14/21, SendGrid has updated the system responsible for processing and logging spam report events. This change improved our system’s ability to process and count spam reports that come to us from mailbox providers when recipients mark a message as spam. Today we made additional adjustments to decode unique arguments on the spam reports coming through the Event Webhook.

This change will result in elevated spam report metrics for some Twilio SendGrid users that will level off once it catches up to all emails that have been marketed as spam. The increase in spam reports is not the result of more recipients marking more mail as spam, rather it is the result of our system capturing spam report events more completely from this date onward.

Note that this is a continuation of improvements made over the last month.

Verify Push lets you add push authentication into mobile, web, and desktop apps to seamlessly secure user onboarding, logins, and transactions. Check out our documentation to learn more.

You can now call emergency services in supported countries using Programmable Voice.

To place an emergency call, you can use TwiML’s <Dial> verb, /Calls API, Client SDKs or add a Participant to the Conference with:

• A valid e.164-formatted From phone number or CallerID that can receive calls from the PSTN
  
• The emergency telephone number has to be a valid emergency number from the same country as the From phone number.

Fees apply for emergency calling in the US and Canada.

Today, we are excited to announce that Voice calling in Twilio Frontline is available in Public Beta. Your team now has the ability to easily enable and access Voice capabilities within your Frontline application on iOS or Android.

You can read more about this launch on our blog, and if you’re ready to start building, dive into our docs.
