This iteration of BigBlueButton 2.7 contains several fixes. The menu for managing layout was moved (for viewers) to the dropdown where Settings and About are, thus no longer showing the "+" button for viewers. A direct button for leaving the session was added (disabled by default). LibreOffice, bbb-webrtc-sfu and other components were upgraded to include recent dependency security patches.
We welcome any feedback about this release on our bigbluebutton-dev mailing list
Note that BigBlueButton 2.7 runs on Ubuntu Focal (20.04).
