August has been a big month of highs and lows. As temperatures continue to rise across the country, people are struggling to keep their cool. Mainly because of the fall of their beloved Choco Taco (RIP 
) that is taking the internet by storm.
To keep you distracted until your next summer ice cream fix, Bluescape is serving up some cool new features in our August release.
Features
Raise Hand in Bluescape Meetings 
Bluescape is excited to introduce a Raise Hand option to Bluescape meetings. Every meeting participant can now raise or lower their hand. Any participant raising their hand is sorted to the top of the group for the host to call on them to participate. A 
(Raise hand) icon appears next to their name. Once called upon, the participant’s hand lowers automatically after three seconds of speaking. The host also has the option to lower a raised hand.

Video Frame Commenting 
This new feature allows you to add comments to a video placed in a workspace. Users can reply in-line and tag other users in their comments. Comment sorting is available by timestamp or frame, and users can navigate between commented video frames.

Auto-Detect Navigation 
Bluescape is pleased to introduce an auto-detect navigation feature. When Auto is selected, Bluescape automatically detects whether you’re using a mouse, trackpad, or touch device. Users also can manually select which device they would like to use.

Adobe Stock and Shutterstock added to Popsync Image Search 
Bluescape has added Popsync image search results from Adobe Stock and Shutterstock to the existing list of image providers for Bluescape Team, Business, and Enterprise Users.
Improvements and Bug Fixes
Easy Deletion of Canvas Content after Canvas Deletion 
Previously, after deleting a canvas in your workspace, the objects on the canvas remained and were cumbersome to delete. Now, when you delete a canvas, the objects on the canvas are automatically highlighted for easy deletion.
