Description
When playing online I sometimes struggle with the fact that I can't face a specific player. If I look into the camera, it looks the same for everyone. This makes dynamic conversations often clunky, because I constantly have to call out names.
To mitigate this, I thought it would be neat if I could ping a user in the video chat (maybe by click-holding their avatar) so that my avatar on their end is indicating that I am talking directly to them (by an obvious flash or the like). For everyone else this should also be visible (or optionally not, for secret pings), by indicating the avatar of the addressed user.
Cheers!

Research direction
Start by locating the video-chat avatar rendering and input-handling entry points, then trace how an addressed participant could be identified for all connected users. Define the visible and optional secret-ping behavior before implementation; done means a user can target one avatar and the intended indicators appear for the right participants.
