Run two lessons at once on split screen
We are wanting to use an editable side bar or header/footer for a schedule visual. Some ideas we tried but were unsuccessful...
Split screen with two lessons running at once (2 chrome browsers). We also tried logging into lumio on both chrome and firefox at the same time, but they kept syncing to the same lesson.
Split screen with a lumio lesson on one and whiteboard on the other. Couldn't get images or functionality on whiteboard.
Another ideas was to take a screenshot of the schedule and use it as the wallpaper in the background and reduce the lesson size so it shows. But, the browser page does not let you change the size of the display...it's either full screen or split screen. This also does not allow us to edit the schedule easily.
Our last idea was a customizable "widget" that would sit on top of any given lesson.
Attached is what we use for a daily schedule. We have a morning and afternoon class and the schedule can change based on weather and/or special events.
My thought process is along the lines of a powerpoint header that you can change on one page and it is updated and displayed on every page there after.

Good news. You can now have different Lumio lessons open in multiple tabs or windows. Lumio will no longer synch your lessons in different windows, so you can pick 2 different lessons to open side by side. Note that only one can be in live delivery at a time, and the other will be in Review mode. However, you can quickly switch back and forth for which one is seen by connected students by clicking on "Start live".

Annotating split screen and two chrome browsers would be awesome features!

I would like to add on to this and state that annotating in Split screen would be a great feature.
