Ask “what did Priya share in design last week” and search shows what Priya said in #design last week, with the filters under the search as “Added for you: From Priya · In #design · Last week”. Each chip has its own × to take it off, and Search without these runs your words exactly as typed. A person is added only when your words say they said it and you can already see them, a channel only when you can already read it — and never a guess between two channels of the same name, a partner’s shared one included. Anything you type as a filter yourself always wins. No AI model is asked and nothing leaves Kemble.
Open a Link’s address for a private channel or a conversation you’re not in, and you can ask to join the call. Anyone in the call can let you in, even if they joined after you asked, and you join the call only — never its messages. An ask waits two minutes. Test speaker plays a short Kemble sound through the speaker you chose, in Settings › Audio & video and in a Link’s More; you can join with your microphone off or captions on, and Kemble can check your microphone, speaker and camera before you join.
Turn on “Share sound with my screen” in a Link’s More, or in Audio & video, and the next time you share your screen your browser asks whether to share its sound too — a tab’s, or your computer’s. In Kemble Desktop the window you pick from offers Share sound on Windows and on macOS 13 or later. Everyone in the Link hears it, each at their own volume: Stream volume and Mute stream are in your menu for the person sharing. Your screen says “Sharing sound”, and one press mutes the sound while your screen stays shared. It’s off until you turn it on, and works in Chrome, Edge and Kemble Desktop.
Kemble Desktop now leaves your Link or call when your computer locks or goes to sleep, so nobody is left talking to an empty desk. When you’re back, a note says which call you left, with Rejoin while it’s still going. That works for a voice room you took with you into Kemble Work too: Rejoin takes you back to the room. Turn it off in Audio & video with “Leave calls when my computer locks”. A browser is never told when your computer locks, so this is Kemble Desktop’s alone.
In Kemble Desktop on Windows and Linux, the menu button now sits at the start of the top bar in Kemble Work’s simplified layout and in a narrow window too, and View › Toggle sidebar in Kemble Circle shows or hides the member list — or the channel list, when the window is narrow.
In Kemble Circle, on a phone with a larger text size, a voice room’s call controls now stay in one row — the hang-up no longer drops to a line of its own, so more of the room shows above them.
Channel managers and workspace admins can open Insights in a channel’s details: members over time, messages a day, who’s active, the busiest threads and files shared, over the last 30 or 90 days, counted from what the channel already has. Workspace settings › Analytics › Tools counts K Buddy’s questions and ratings, workflow runs and failures, and the Links held. Kemble doesn’t track who reads what. And your identity provider can now keep user groups like @design through SCIM; they only let people be mentioned together.
