Research direction

Reproduce the issue at call.element.io in Chrome on Windows by narrowing the window with Alt+Left, then toggling video off and comparing the welcome screen layout. Trace the welcome screen and video-toggle layout entry points until the squishing behavior is located; done means the UI keeps an usable layout when video is turned off.
