Re: meetecho slide control with local RPI

[Kyle Rose <[e-mail]>]

I agree this would be great if they could get it to work. As things
currently stand, one chair's device is effectively useless during talks
because HID focus needs to remain on the Meetecho browser tab.

(In some rooms, the RPi is far from the speaker podium, though, and the
range of the clicker is limited, so you'd have to put it at the end of a
long USB cable.)
