List of changes

Picture in Picture moved to Layouts

PiP is now managed from the Layouts flow on the camera screen (Spotlight mode). The standalone PiP button and related configuration UI were removed.

<aside> ❗

The feature requires the Picture in Picture feature enabled. Without Picture in Picture, this feature will not appear or function. Contact Banuba representatives to enable it

New Video Editor UI Set as Default

The redesigned video editing interface (Editor V2) is now enabled by default. The legacy editor remains available for backward compatibility but is deprecated and scheduled for removal in late 2026. We recommend migrating to the new UI.

Dark Theme Support for Photo Editor

The Photo Editor SDK now supports Light and Dark themes via BanubaDesignSystem

<aside> ❗

Dark theme is used by default. Set BNBDesignSystem.theme = .light before presenting the editor to use Light theme.

</aside>

Removal of Video and Photo Sharing Screens

Built-in post-export sharing screens have been removed from Video Editor and Photo Editor SDKs. Developers now handle the export result in delegate callbacks and implement their own sharing UI.
