Voice Chat Volume Profiles - Take 1.5

I have made a post similiar to the one you will be reading right now here over in API (https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360054119752-Voice-Presets-Profiles). Granted, the 'Chat' community topic has more people so I hope this idea will get some attention.

Idea: Voice Chat Profiles

What: Give the user more than just ONE saved voice chat volume setting profile. At the very least, give us three!

Why: If you use Discord a lot and you jump from device to device, microphones to microphones, headsets to headsets, then you know the pain of having to adjust, re-adjust, and fine tune the SINGLE volume profile for any and all people you talk to in Discord Voice.

REAL Life Examples

Scenario 1.

Problem: You have your quiet AF friend turned all the way up to 100. It sounds fine on your end until... He uses a different microphone (say he's now using Discord on his phone instead of PC) and suddenly your ear drums are blasted by his greeting.

Solution: You have one volume setting for when your friend uses his PC and you have another volume setting for when your friend uses his phone. His volume setting profile for his PC is at 100 whereas his phone's volume setting profile is at 30%.

Scenario 2.

Problem: You have a friend that's extremely f*cking loud who spews a lot of useless non-sense when playing games so you keep him at 10%. But let's say you want to have a conversation directly with this person. You find yourself having to fumble around with the volume slider to hear him clearly. Then another game starts and out of nowhere you hear his screaming b.s. again because you forgot or didn't have time to adjust his volume. Either way, you find yourself spamming alt-tabbed to slide his volume back to near 0...

Solution: You have one profile for your friend set at 10, name it "Default" and another set at 70 and name it something like "Conversation." Now you can quickly change between when you want to hear the guy talk and when you want to sorta hear him talk...

Additional Notes:

Here are my suggestions for the design of this idea. When you right click on a user, you can see the "User Volume" section. On top of having the volume slider, under it are the volume presets. Of which you can click on to choose and use the slider to adjust the volume. Bing Bam Boom. That's it.

Thanks for giving my post a read, would love to see the community's feedback on this idea!!
