Automatic collapse of stripe when a screen share starts #4441
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Since #4363 it is possible to collapse the strip at the bottom of the call view.
Usually when someone shares their screen, the purpose is for everyone to focus on just that. Instead of requiring every user to collapse the stripe to get a better view of the screen share, we should do that automatically.
Describe the solution you'd like
- Whenever a remote screen starts:
- remember the preview view mode + collapsed state ("save1")
- if in grid view mode, show the remote screen in full page
- if in stripe view mode, automatically collapse the view
- if follow mode is enabled, do nothing unless the followed view is the screen share itself
- If the user uncollapses or switches the view during that one screen share, reset "save1" to not remember any more
- Whenever a remote screen share stops
- if "save1" state was set (means we're still in automatic mode), restore the view to what it was saved in "save1", then reset that value
Need to find out whether that implicit automatic mode is enough from an UX perspective or whether we need an explicit mode somewhere.

There is an option in Talk 11 to collapse the bar with a simple button click
