Full screen view in SMART iQ™ 4 whiteboard
It would be great to find a way to get (temporary) rid of the floating tool bar of the SMART iQ™ 4 whiteboard (i. e. when embedding/playing a full screen video).
A possible solution could be to have a new "full screen view" available in the whiteboard which makes the floating tool bar disappear (temporary). To go back to the "regular view" including the floating tool bar there could be an icon in the upper right corner of the full screen to tap on.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Thomas

Thank you for your feedback. We have been considering this issue, and we have a few ideas we're exploring. One is to allow the user to shorten the toolbar to essential buttons only (pen tool, add page, etc.). Another is to allow the toolbar to be collapsed entirely. It would become a button on the side of the screen.
This second option sounds similar to what you're suggesting. It does open the door to other questions, like would you want to use toolbar elements from a collapsed state? Would you want to be able to move the button? And should it be anchored to a side or free-floating?
If you have any additional thoughts you'd like to share, your feedback is appreciated.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for the fast reply and so nice to read from you again. In fact your suggestion to have a "collapse" option would be really perfect. This would be less confusing for customers than my idea with a button in the corner. Like the SMART Ink® tool bar, the customer then always knows what he/she did to collapse the toolbar and it would be easy to remember that tapping on the same button again would go back to the full tool bar. Personally, I would go with the option to collapse the whole tool bar to just a single button and indeed I would make this button moveable to prevent the button from covering important information underneath it.I hope this would be an intuitive way to realize this feature.
Kind regards,
Thomas
