January 29, 2026 - SimCapture Cloud - Version 2.162.x

Feature Enhancements

Enterprise with Exam System (Exams – Exam Stations): Enterprise customers with the Exam System can now enable a setting that automatically adds learners to a Course when they log in at an OSCE exam station—no more pre-loading large participant lists.

Enterprise and Enterprise with Exam System (Calendar – Rotational Scheduling): You can now automatically log students into exam stations when using rotational scheduling for in‑center exams. A new checkbox— “Log in Participants and begin exam session”— lets exam administrators pre‑load both SPs and students into their assigned rooms before the exam begins.

Enterprise and Enterprise with Exam System (Scenarios): To prevent submission issues in self-record scenarios, we’ve added a safeguard: scenarios created as non-skills (e.g., those including evaluations like reflections) can no longer be edited and converted into self-record scenarios. This prevents hidden content and submission errors caused by incompatible evaluations. Additionally, when hovering over the disabled option, you’ll see the message: “Cannot be changed to self-record due to evaluation conflicts. Please create a new self-record scenario.”

SimCapture Mobile Record (Livekit): To reduce distracting overlapping audio, Livekit sessions and debriefs now only play audio from the first feed in the session. If the first feed has no audio (e.g., Patient Monitor Capture), no sound will be heard, which is expected behavior. This ensures a consistent and focused audio experience without multiple streams playing at once.

Bugs Fixed

Enterprise and Enterprise with Exam System (Center Sign-in): If your account uses Single Sign-On (SSO) and you attempt to sign in at a Center Sign-In kiosk with a username and password, you’ll now see this message instead of an error: “Your account uses Single Sign-On (SSO). Please sign in using your organization’s SSO option.”

Enterprise and Enterprise with Exam System (Monitor Evaluations): We fixed an issue where the Extra Time modal displayed “evaluations” instead of “evaluation.” The wording now appears correctly.

Enterprise and Enterprise with Exam System (Sessions): Participant users in Enterprise and Enterprise+ can no longer access the Sessions view by manually updating the URL. Attempting to load /sessions will now display a 403 error, ensuring users only see sessions explicitly released to them.

Enterprise and Enterprise with Exam System (Courses): When exporting and importing courses, evaluation templates now retain all question formatting (including rich text) as expected. Previously, most formatting was stripped during import, causing inconsistencies. This fix ensures imported evaluations match the original design.

Enterprise and Enterprise with Exam System (Evaluations): Standalone admin evaluations now include the Samaritan assist option, ensuring consistency with other evaluation types.

Enterprise and Enterprise with Exam System (Standalone Admin Evaluations): Admins can now open and review their completed standalone admin evaluations directly from the Course Evaluation Assignments view. After submitting an evaluation, a new admin‑only link allows you to view the completed form via a dedicated evaluation path—without affecting learner or SP workflows. This update makes it easier for admins to reference, verify, and audit their completed evaluations in one place.

Enterprise and Enterprise with Exam System (SP Table): For users in the Europe region, the Notes column and its option in the columns dropdown have been removed from the SP table to align with regional requirements.

Enterprise and Enterprise with Exam System (Evaluations): Completed standalone evaluations will no longer appear in the course participant pod for learners. This ensures consistency with admin evaluations, which also do not display in this view.

Enterprise and Enterprise with Exam System (LLEAP): Custom camera feed names are now displayed in LLEAP sessions when the Enable Camera Feed Naming feature is active. Previously, feeds showed default names instead of the custom names set in SimCapture.

Enterprise, Enterprise with Exam System and Pro (Permissions and Evaluations – Admin Users): We’ve resolved an issue where admin users added to a course as Learners or Standardized Patients (SPs) were unable to complete assigned scoring evaluations. Previously, these admins encountered a 403 error when attempting to open their evaluation from the My Active Courses dashboard.

With this fix:

  • Admins added to a course as learners can now complete scoring evaluations as expected.
  • Admins added to a course as SPs can now complete after session scoring evaluations without error.

This update ensures consistent permissions and restores full evaluation functionality for all admin-assigned roles.

January 22, 2026 - SimCapture Patient Monitor Capture app – Version 1.4

Feature Enhancements

New Feature: Camera Mode Selection in PMC App 
When using the PMC app for the first time, you must now select a streaming mode:

  • Mobile Camera (for SCMC sessions)
  • IP Camera (for CaptureNode sessions)

Once selected, this setting will be remembered and determines which streaming method is enabled. The app will only work for sessions of the chosen type. You can switch between modes at any time without editing feed configurations in CaptureNode or SimCapture, but only one mode can stream live at a time.

Key Details:

  • Existing users should confirm the correct mode after updating. If no selection is made, PMC feeds will not appear in SimCapture sessions.
  • There is no need to update existing feed configurations in CaptureNode or SimCapture system settings.
  • In IP Camera mode, the app displays the device’s IP address for CaptureNode configuration and shows improved RTSP stream info when hovering over CN Streaming Status:
    • Actual IP address is now shown (preferring Ethernet, then Wi-Fi, then VPN labeled as such).  
    • Example: rtsp://10.181.130.77:6682/rsc

This update prevents conflicts between different streaming types and gives you control over which is in use.

UI Sidebar Updates – What’s New

  • Removed Region section (now included with pairing info).
  • SimCapture Cloud section:
    • Renamed for clarity.
    • Added Region after Location.
    • Added Configure and Sync Now buttons (Configure disabled during active sessions).

Stream Status:

  • IP Camera Streaming information moved here with statuses: Starting, Enabled, Error.
  • Reduced excess spacing for a cleaner look.

Bugs Fixed

Handling Lost Stream Sources 
PMC now gracefully handles cases where a selected stream source is removed (e.g., unplugging a monitor):

  • If a source disappears, the app shows an alert: “<source name> is no longer available. Select another source.”
  • If no source is selected or all sources are removed, the video area displays: “No source selected. Choose a source to capture from the menu.”
  • Selecting a new source updates the stream without switching automatically, preventing unintended screensharing.

This fix ensures clear messaging and prevents accidental streaming when sources change. 

January 8, 2026 - SimCapture Cloud - Version 2.161.x

Feature Enhancements

Enterprise and Enterprise with Exam System (Standalone Admin Evaluations): You can now release Standalone Admin Evaluation scores directly to evaluatees. A new option — “Standalone Admin Evaluation” — has been added under Select Scores/Sessions to Release, allowing you to manage and share these evaluation results just like existing evaluation types.

Enterprise and Enterprise with Exam System (Transcription): To prevent errors, transcripts cannot be generated while videos are still uploading or processing. On the Transcript tab, you’ll now see the message: “Transcript cannot be generated while videos are being processed".

Bugs Fixed

Enterprise and Enterprise with Exam System (Standardized Patients): The Notes field on the User Details page now wraps text automatically, making lengthy sections easier to read without horizontal scrolling.

Enterprise and Enterprise with Exam System (Session Transcript - Manual): We’ve resolved an issue where navigating to the Transcript tab for sessions with a follow-up (recording toggled OFF) caused a component error message: “An unexpected error occurred in this component.” Users can now switch between Encounter and Follow-Up views without errors and see the Generate Transcript button as expected.
