🦖 New Avatar: Dinosaur
In celebration of 🦴 fossil day, we’ve added our first reptilian avatar, the Dinosaur Topi!
🌫️ [BETA] Blur My Background
Go to My Account > Settings to turn on the new background blur feature for your video. 
Note:
 This feature is still in a BETA testing phase. Please reach out to support@topia.io if you experience any unexpected behavior while using this feature.
🔎 Zoom in and out in world
Use the new “World Zoom” setting (My Account > Settings) to change the default world zoom level. This will apply every time you enter a world.
💬 Direct messages improvements
The initial message load has been updated from 25 to 100. Also, you will auto-scroll to bottom of a direct message when sending a direct message, opening a direct message, and receiving a direct message. When your scroll hits the top of a direct message, 20 more messages will be loaded.
🎥 Video and audio stream performance improvements
Low bandwidth mode now does more to reduce network traffic. Also, P2P and SFU negotiations will connect faster and your audio won't drop when picking devices for screenshare!
