Your use case
What would you like to do?
Improve the current usability and user experience of the multi-screen share experience.
Why would you like to do it?
Element Call allows more than one user to screen share during a call. This is a great feature!
Unfortunately, the visual indicators for this are not intuitive to most users.
Indicators are shown as 2px height white lines below the first screen share, on the lower left corner, and a chevron is shown to the right of the screen share, which only becomes apparent if you hover it.
For most new users, this is a clearly not intuitive and most only understand how it works once it is explained verbally to them.
How would you like to achieve it?
Screen real estate is important but usability is more. I propose to replace the current indicators with a call to action button with a common screen icon and the user's display name concatenated with "'a screen share", such as this:
Clicking the buttons effectively changes the active screen share. The chevron button remains as an alternative.
Have you considered any alternatives?
No response
Additional context
I will be submitting a PR that implements this as a starting point to moving forward..
