Thanks (again!) @grantbowering. Out of interest, have you used the show/hide toggle? #7 |

Oh sorry; when I said "sometimes you want the video to be much larger", that gave the opposite impression of what I actually meant! I meant the webcam video larger, not the main video. So like, the opposite direction of the show-hide toggle. 🙂 While I do think people might appreciate being able to scale the video to exactly the pixels they want, you make a good point that a slider would be making things more difficult than they need to be. A small/medium/large toggle would be a decent MVP (and much easier to implement)... as long as the current size was the "small", and the other two sizes were much larger! 😆 Maybe |
Sometimes you want the video to be much larger, especially when there's only two people on the call.
I tried to implement a proof-of-concept for a drag slider last week, but my quick first crack didn't work all that well, because
a) the ember is in an
<iframe>outside the body, so one can't render a slider from there that occludes the<body>content at all, andb) I'd have to register mouse events on the body, too, because with mouse events only on an element that's in a separate iframe, it's very difficult to stay within the couple of pixels in which one could slowly drag it larger 😆
c) my approach didn't take into account, and therefore rendered useless, vemos's show-hide toggle which just shifts the fixed div over by the hard-coded 10vh, heh
I think this would be a really good feature though, so I'm adding it as a feature request.
I would poke at it some more, as I could hack around issues a) and b) above, but I don't really have any good thoughts for quickly and reasonably overcoming c), so I don't know how much help I can be.
I will PR a cleaned-up version of last week's proof of concept in a sec.
