UI feedback when disable/enable your microphone/camera

Problem to solve

When someone disables his audio and/or video there is no UI feedback on your own publisher or on the subscribers end. Therefore it is unclear what is going on.

Proposal

Within the example it would be nice to show some UI feedback. I would propose to do the following:

PUBLISHER

  • When disabling audio, the publisher view needs to have a disable audio icon in the center of the publisher video view
  • When disabling video, the publisher view needs to have a disable video icon in the center of the publisher video view
  • When both are disabled at the same time, the icons are still centered and right beside each other.
  • If possible, instead of a black screen, we would prefer to have a stale blurred image.

SUBSCRIBER

  • When someone disables his audio, in the center of this subscriber screen display a disable audio icon and right below the icon the text: <Name> disabled the microphone
  • When someone disables his video, in the center of this subscriber screen display a disable video icon and right below the icon the text: <Name> disabled the camera
  • When both are disabled at the same time, in the center of this subscriber show both icons disabled and right below these icons the text: <Name> disabled the microphone and camera
  • <Name> this property is not available in our example, but we could provide de UUID for it? Or random name?
