This is what I asked before. More precisely, it would be better to have a
mirrored window which contains only the content and the UI is hidden, then
for teaching we just project that window, and we still see the UI on our
computer.

Joris replied that this mirroring is implemented, but due to bugs it is
hidden which could only triggered by some scheme code.

Best,
Frank
