When clicking the ‘Take over as presenter’ button, the other presenter can continue the webinar after resuming the broadcast.
Added a page to display the settings for the duration of a webinar: the maximum time a webinar can start early, the maximum duration of a webinar and the available extra time. To view this page, a new option ‘Webinar duration settings’ has been added to Manage environment.

Improved the performance of the presenter.
Replaced Shaka video player with HLS.js to resolve ondemands occasionally not playing on iOS devices.
Reduced the size of the presenter video in the broadcaster so the slides can take up more space (only in case there are slides present).
Increased the size of a slide when editing slides in the ondemand editor.
Add styling for the description text of a webinar. Now when using Markdown in the description will result in properly styled text (headings, links, bold text, lists etc.).
