New Fields/Layouts

📘

Streaming Service URL deprecation

We will be deprecating the Streaming Service URL field in favor of the Meeting/Join URL field. Meeting/Join URL will allow for URLs longer than 255 characters, at the same time supporting webinar accounts. URLs can be added here manually, or via webinar account. The Streaming Service URL field will still be supported for the next few months, and we will give notification in a release note once this field is no longer supported.
