New Video Call grid function

Razyel D'Ropa

Hello there!

I just saw the implementation of the grid system for video calls. I wonder if there is or will be an option to get back to the old system. It was way more convenient to have a person as the focus and have myself as a small window inside that focused window. That way, the focused person was obviously in a bigger window and I was able to access the chat. Now there is either chat and having me the same size as the other one, or focused on a person and no chat.

    Yes please change it back, The sizing is all wonky and I can't use chat and have the video as big as it was before. Its frustrating.

    Move your cursor to the right edge of the larger stream screen, a button "Hide Member" will let u go back to the old stream size.

    Can it also not minimize the full screen for streams with a single click? it is infuriating when you want to refocus on the window and your single click minimizes the stream and reverts it back to the grid view that has a bunch of giant display pictures that arent streaming and the 1 stream super tiny in the middle somewhere.

    I really dislike the new video call grid, its very frustrating and awkward to use. I really hate it when you click the main video and it minimizes to the grid view. The old video sharing was much better. Please change it back, it was much better before.

    Hi guys, Raz and I have been meaning to leave another comment on here.  The problem, or at least what we had, has been fixed, like what JKiSINNER said.  We've been able to go back to just one screen (with ours tiny on the side) for over a week now.  The "Grid" view with members hidden looks like the old version for us. 

    I'm so glad things are better looking for us again now.  Thank you all for adding your input and suggestions here!  And a thanks to the Discord staff for listening to our feedback and bringing back the version we like!

    This is a waste of a feature. I have a phone for calls. I will never use it. And, I can't get it to go back to the place where you can type and post pics...pissing me off
