use case report: OM on Android Tablet

Hi,

 this is an information for a use case I came up with in the last days
that I want to share with you:

In order to increase the useability of the OM whiteboard, I added a
user account for an additional login with an Android tablet, intended
to be used as a pen driven input device for the whiteboard (it's much
more precise for drawing than using a mouse).

As the video windows of the online participants clutter the tablet
screen and it seems impossible to move the windows anywhere, I changed
the CSS using the "Stylish" add-on (on Android this only exists for
firefox) to hide all video windows in OM on the tablet. It works
really well: I now have an unobstructed view of the whiteboard on the
tablet and can draw everywhere. My laptop is used for the video
communication and everything else. I even think about removing the
left pane as well on the tablet to increase the useable whiteboard
area even more.

In case anyone is interested in the relevant CSS code let me know (via
this list) and I can share the code and a step by step implementation
HOWTO. It's quite easy.

Hello,

a few months ago I tried to connect a mouse (with an USB-Adapter).
I mean to remember that I can move all windows with it on Tablet and 
Smartphone.

This make sense
In M4 situation is little bit improved: audio-only windows are already
hidden
There was feature request to add "Minimize all windows" hotkey (I guess it
should be Menu item for tablet)
This also might help
