IoT Connection Verification: The UI now verifies that the device has established an IoT Hub connection before activating the Live Stream option in the sidekick, ensuring a more reliable user experience.
Live Template Preview Enhancement: A new preview component for Live templates has been built and implemented in the media info view within the Library. This will now replace the old component in the Player view, allowing users to see the actual preview of live templates.
