Description
### Your use case
@kongo09:
> [hot] - I think we need to find an alternative way to display people with their video disabled. All these black boxes just make the overall impression bad.
In a 1:1 - suggested it being a setting, as people only care about people they can see. Standard in Zoom. We should benchmark.
Priority tbd.
