In-App Notifications, an Installable App & a Faster, Cleaner Dashboard
Starlight now tells you the moment your minutes are ready, so you no longer have to keep checking back. You can also install Starlight as an app on your desktop or device, opening it in its own window straight from your taskbar or home screen. Across the board the dashboard is faster to load and steadier on the page, with a refreshed, more consistent interface — and speaker names now stay correct in boardrooms that share a single device, even when voices are merged.
NEW FEATURES
In-App Notifications for Your Minutes
Why we updated this
After asking Starlight to prepare a set of minutes, the only way to know they were ready was to keep returning to the dashboard and checking. For a team running several board and committee meetings in a day, that meant repeatedly coming back to see whether a document had finished — and it was easy to miss the rare occasion when a generation quietly needed another look.
How it works now
A notification bell now sits at the top of your dashboard and tells you the moment a set of minutes is ready, with a clear unread indicator so nothing slips past. If a generation needs your attention, the bell flags that too. Every notification links straight to the relevant meeting and its finished minutes, so you can go from being notified to reviewing the document in a single click. You can mark alerts as read, clear them all at once when you have caught up, and trust that each event appears exactly once.
What to do
No action needed — the notification bell appears at the top of your dashboard, and alerts arrive automatically as your minutes finish.
Install Starlight as an App
Why we updated this
Teams who work in Starlight throughout the day wanted it to feel like a dedicated application rather than one more browser tab to hunt for — quick to open and sitting alongside the other tools they use every day.
How it works now
Starlight can now be installed directly from your browser as an app on your desktop or device. Once installed, it opens in its own window from your taskbar, dock, or home screen — with no separate download or app-store step — and returning to it feels quicker on later visits.
What to do
While signed in to Starlight, look for the install option in your browser's address bar or menu and choose Install. Nothing changes if you prefer to keep using Starlight in a normal browser tab.
IMPROVEMENTS
A Faster, Steadier Dashboard
Why we updated this
On busier accounts or slower connections, the dashboard could feel sluggish to load, and pages sometimes shifted around as content filled in — occasionally moving a button or list just as you went to click it.
How it works now
A broad set of speed improvements means the dashboard becomes usable sooner and does less unnecessary work in the background. Loading placeholders now mirror the real layout of each page, so content settles smoothly into place instead of jumping as it appears.
What to do
No action needed — every page benefits automatically.
A More Consistent, Polished Interface
Why we updated this
As Starlight has grown, small inconsistencies had crept in across fonts, spacing, and the organisation settings screens, making some parts of the interface feel less cohesive than others.
How it works now
The dashboard now uses a single typeface throughout and a refined, more compact layout, with the organisation settings screens tidied up to match. The result is a cleaner, more consistent look across navigation, meetings, and settings.
What to do
No action needed — the refreshed interface is the new default everywhere.
FIXES
Shared-Device Speaker Names Stay Correct When Voices Are Merged
Why we updated this
In boardrooms that share a single device, merging two voices that belong to the same person could reset the room's name back to a generic label — undoing a correction the host had already made during the meeting.
How it works now
Renaming or merging speakers in a shared-device room now keeps the room's chosen name in place, so corrections made during the meeting hold rather than being overwritten.
What to do
No action needed — corrections in shared-device rooms now stick automatically.
