At Uscreen, we occasionally release features as “beta” versions. These beta features are optional, early-access tools that are still in development and may be experimental or somewhat unstable. Beta releases allow our most forward-thinking customers to try out new improvements and share valuable feedback before the feature becomes fully polished.
What Is a Beta?
A beta feature is an early-access, feature or improvement that is still undergoing development. Here’s what to expect from beta features:
Experimental: Betas may have limited functionality and could change as we continue to refine them.
Potential Instability: These features might not always perform as expected.
Ongoing Improvements: Uscreen plans regular updates and iterations based on user feedback.
Supporting Resources: Betas come with help articles and tutorial videos to guide users.
Temporary Access: Beta features are typically available for several months before a full, stable release.
Feedback Opportunities: We actively encourage feedback to shape these features before the official launch.
How to Access a Beta Feature 🛠️
To access a beta feature, reach out to your Uscreen Customer Success Manager (CSM). They can provide details about available beta features and help you get started. Your CSM is there to answer questions and discuss whether a particular beta fits your needs.
Should You Participate in a Beta? 🤔
Beta features are not for everyone. Here’s what to consider when deciding if beta participation is right for you:
Great Fit If You:
Enjoy testing cutting-edge features and providing feedback.
Are comfortable with potential risks and early-stage user experiences.
Willing to directly contribute to feature development and improvements.
Might Want to Wait If You:
Have a risk-averse audience or members with sensitive needs.
Prefer using fully stable features with minimal errors or changes.
If you’re uncertain, your Customer Success Manager can help weigh the benefits and potential drawbacks for your specific use case.
