# Virtual Events 1.6.1

### Summary

Maintenance Release

This updated version of Virtual Events 1.6.1 includes several bug fixes to improve the plugin.

As always, we recommend updating on a [staging site](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/), just to be safe, but it should all be smooth sailing.

---

#### ✅ Fixed

Bugs that were squashed in this release:

- Enabled custom providers with Oembed by changing how the Oembed class is created.
- Enabled support for **Show on Calendar** views option when using the hybrid event type.
- Prevented tribe-dropdown undefined JavaScript console error on admin pages.
- When V1 is active, we now load the accordion script directly to prevent VE fields from breaking.

---

#### ? Tweaks

##### A few tweaks we made under the hood:

- VE now only adds zoom meeting information to the event object if it is a Zoom meeting.
- Fixed names of filters to enable different roles to create and manage Zoom events.
