Known Issues
Windows
- if no mp4 codec is installed on your machine, you won't be able to read mp4 files in OpenBoard. It is no longer considered an OpenBoard or Qt issue. You can download LAV Filters here
Linux
- on X11, starting OpenBoard in Desktop Mode may not work (it is due to a workaround needed to compensate randomly happening bugs appearing when using this qt method => https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwidget.html#showFullScreen).
- Gnome Dock should be set to bottom position to workaround the issue with the Openboard left palette not beeing usable from above it (cf. https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-81341 for more details).
