=> That was my first idea too. But I think if we go down that path I would probably also suggest to prompt users to save OpenMeetings to the home screen on the mobile device (and by doing so converting it into a Progressive Web App/PWA). Instead of just prompting for landscape mode. Cause once its a PWA we can: - Control full screen/display mode and maximise screen usage (no back button, no URL navigation bar) - and especially the URL bar stays away! The annoying thing is that if you scroll on iOS is will show the URL bar again and makes the screen smaller - Orientation landscape (at least in Android, iOS show "unsupported orientation" - user friendly message) - Start OpenMeetings like a Mobile App via an Icon on your home screen (it makes a huge difference actually to user behaviour) So it's a much more "native" feel when converted to PWA. And the effort in order to convert to a PWA is pretty small (create manifest file) In theory users can actually already save it to their home screen. OpenMeetings is just not using any of the features that would help to make it more user friendly in that case. So should we maybe rather prompt to "save to home screen" ? It just seems to give more options to improve things.
