We are excited to announce that users can now select from a list of codecs for Voice API and TeXML applications directly from the Mission Control Portal.

The selection of codecs can be found under “Inbound Settings” in your Voice API or TeXML application. 

![Codec selection in MCP](//images.ctfassets.net/taysl255dolk/1G3YBvAuxpeEmwFsCVP4iw/d58da1607e0e7e981039dcb5755d234c/codec-selection-telnyx-portal.png)

**How codec selection works**

The codec selection will be taken into account during codec negotiation for inbound calls, which can be crucial when integrating with external systems that support only a limited number of codecs and involve media streaming. To learn more about codecs, visit our [support article](https://support.telnyx.com/en/articles/3192298-audio-and-codecs).

[Contact our team of experts](https://telnyx.com/contact-us) with any questions you have about the codec selection.

Today we are excited to introduce a new feature that allows users to generate custom branded Letters of Agency (LOAs) on their port orders, turning what was a historically manual process into something that can easily be completed in a few simple steps.

__Here’s what you need to know:__

* **Customized branding**: Users can now create custom Letter of Agency (LOA) templates for their port orders. This enables their own company's information and branding to be applied on the generated LOA. This will replace the default Telnyx-branded LOA template. 
* __Shareable LOA links__: After generating an LOA, users can create a shareable link. This link can be sent to clients, making it convenient for them to sign and attach the LOA to the port order on their behalf.

**Getting started**

To get started with this new feature, navigate to the “Port Numbers” tab in the Mission Control Portal, and then start customizing under the “[Customize LOA](https://portal.telnyx.com/#/app/numbers/customize-loa)” section. To learn more about this feature, please visit our support article [here](https://support.telnyx.com/en/articles/8588086-auto-generated-letter-of-authorization-loa).

We are excited to announce the expansion of [FastPort](https://telnyx.com/products/number-porting), our on-demand activation service that ports all your phone numbers in just a few clicks, to now include local Canadian ports. This enhancement aligns with our commitment to providing flexible and efficient solutions for managing telephone number (TN) porting.

## What’s new

On-demand activation for Canadian ports. Here’s how it works:

* **Activation window**: Canadian FastPort users can activate their local port orders on-demand within a 7-hour window, from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM Central Time (CT) on the Firm Order Commitment (FOC) date.
* **Automatic activation**: If the activation is not triggered manually by the end of this window, the order will be automatically activated.
* **User awareness:** It’s crucial for users to note that this activation window is different from the U.S. on-demand ports, which have a 14-hour window (6:00 AM - 8:00 PM CT).

## Enhanced user and operational flexibility

Telnyx expanding FastPort’s offerings for Canadian ports benefits both users and porting operations teams. Opting for on-demand activation allows more control over the cutover timing of Canadian local port orders to Telnyx.

## Why This Change?

This change is implemented to provide additional flexibility in activating port orders and to improve the overall efficiency of activating port orders.

For further details and developer guides, please refer to the Canada Porting Integration and FastPort - On Demand Activations [documents](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/numbers/porting/on-demand-activations).

FastPort, Telnyx's on-demand activation service to port all your numbers, is now available for local Canadian ports.
