Description

OpenMeetings on a Mobile device is almost unusable because the aspect ratio on portrait mode is almost impossible to click any button.

As well as the layout of the application is more width than height.

Apparently there is a way to force the browser into landscape mode using the manifest.json file. There might be also other features out of the manifest file that may improve the experience. It is designed to help Progress Web Apps to more look and feel like Native Apps on Mobile devices.
