Minimize Pause Indication + Audio pass through while paused
Hello, I may have a unique request. My school district recently acquired the SMART Board MX series for our classrooms in order to replace our aging projectors. I frequently use to the pause function to flip through slides on my computer, which is tethered to the board. (It works better for me than using it as an extended display). While paused, the old projector would display a small, unobtrusive "freeze" message in the top right corner. I could flip back and forth subtly, with minimal visual disturbance for my students. On the SMART Board however, it displays a huge pause icon in the middle of the screen which takes a few seconds to disappear. It also does not keep an indication on screen to show me if it is still paused. When un-pausing, the screen also goes black for a split-second before refreshing. These may be small details, but all of this is distracting to the learning experience for my students, many of whom suffer from a lack of attention. (I teach middle school). Ideally, all little distractions like these would be minimized as much as possible. Furthermore, when the screen is paused, sound will no longer continue to play through the projector, which is a huge bummer. It would be nice to be able to have audio pass through while the image is frozen. If there is anyway to make these changes possible in a future update it would make me super happy! Please reduce the pause icon size and move it to the corner, add a constant "pause" indication, allow audio pass through, and stop the full screen refresh when un-pausing. I hope at least some of these changes are possible in a future update!
