Description

Element video calls are top quality, IMO Element offers the best resilience to connection problems over Whatsapp (worst), Signal, Telegram. I'm recommending Element to *many* persons mentioning this characteristic.

However: **I find that the frame with my own image is unnecessarily large and I don't see how I could resize or move it.**
Often, I have to ask the other person to adjust framing differently.

- First (simply because this affects wording in the following points): it would be great to be able to switch which video frame becomes the larger one, mine or the other person's one (intuitively: double tap on the smaller frame).

Thus said:

- The size of the smaller frame could be determined in a **configuration field**: **small, medium, large**.
- It would be great to be able to drag the smaller frame on the screen, so if at any moment it's covering something important we can always move it elsewhere.
