The vibrations appearing on the phones could be accompanied by screen flashes, so users of laptops and tablets would also be getting feedback. The current beep sound could be rendered as flashes. The current clicks every second would be eliminated.
In less brightly lit locations, these flashes could be used to identify the current speaker in a large group.
