[Feature Suggestion] - Multiple Pop-Out windows for each video/screen share participant

DEC1MUS

I love what discord has done lately with screen-sharing and video sharing in voice channels. There is just one last thing I'd LOVE to see to make this the PERFECT chat program and it is to have the option to pop-out individual separate windows for each screen share or video. Here's why and how it would work.

I have multiple monitors as I'm sure many people do. When I'm in a channel and lets say 4 people are sharing their video, I'd like the option to pop-out to window each person and drag them to different monitors. This way I could see in full-screen size all my friends on all my monitors separately (a monitor for each friend - for as many monitors as I have).

When you have multiple people in a call sharing video or screens, those shares are very small to accommodate the window size to fit them all in, meaning, if I want to see a friend full-sized I have to abandon the rest of my friends to see him (they get shrunk even more or just disappear if it's full-screen/hide members mode).

I wonder what it would take to make this possible? I understand it's not a big deal for people with 2 or less monitors but I think nowadays lots of people are like me and have 3 or more monitors going at a time.

I beg of you to make this happen Discord. You have done everything I had hoped for with your app so far, except this. Thanks for reading.

I apologize for double-posting but wasn't able to find an edit option on my first post about this and it needed an edit.

    I also really need this. Tthis is the current situation for streamers: In order to get the video feeds of particular video participants, one needs to capture the same Discord window several times and then crop it to the size of that video.

    - If someone else joins the call or drops out, the layout is broken or it might get reordered.
    - You are always limited in the video size by however Discord decides to partition the screen.

    By allowing individual/separate window pop-outs for any number of video participants:

    - One can reduce the hassle of cropping and just copy a 'window capture' or change the source of a 'window capture'
    - One can increase the size of the individual video feeds
    - One will have a designated window for each participant, even if they momentarily deactivate their camera
    - No messy changes because someone leaves or joins the call

    Has there been any updates to this?

    Been wanting to use Discord because it works for everything else but this one particular issue is why we aren't using it on our Pathfinder Actual Plays streams

    If only that were us. We (Dragon Punch Squad Podcast) are making great strides but nothing close to having something that big lol

    This is a great idea! Sadly it will likely die in here.

    I'd love this feature aswell. Would make group calls far more flexible. I also plan to buy an ultrawide screen. This way the calls could be rearranged to the left and right of the game. As I often chat with around 4-5 people this would be perfekt. Basically is the only feature I am missing atm.
