Previously, dragging it all the way to the left would *not* mute the participant but rather bottom out at 10% volume, and people have found this unintuitive. Let's make it less silly by giving the slider a range of 0% to 100%, and making the mute toggle button have the same effect as dragging the slider to zero. When unmuting, it will reset to the last non-zero "committed" volume, similar to how the volume sliders in desktop environments work.
We've gotten feedback that it's distracting whenever the same video is shown in two places on screen. This fixes the spotlight case by showing only the avatar of anyone who is already visible in the spotlight. It also makes sense to hide the speaking indicators in spotlight layouts, I think, because this information is redundant to the spotlight tile.
The Compound design tokens package is now set up to generate React components for every icon, so we no longer need to use our more error-prone method of importing the SVGs.
Includes the mobile UX optimizations and the tweaks we've made to cut down on wasted space, but does not yet include the change to embed the spotlight tile within the grid.
Here I've implemented an MVP for the new unified grid layout, which scales smoothly up to arbitrarily many participants. It doesn't yet have a special 1:1 layout, so in spotlight mode and 1:1s, we will still fall back to the legacy grid systems.
Things that happened along the way:
- The part of VideoTile that is common to both spotlight and grid tiles, I refactored into MediaView
- VideoTile renamed to GridTile
- Added SpotlightTile for the new, glassy spotlight designs
- NewVideoGrid renamed to Grid, and refactored to be even more generic
- I extracted the media name logic into a custom React hook
- Deleted the BigGrid experiment
