Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?

During a video call, when the screen is shared - I would like to
(i) minimize the presentation window and may be maximize one of the participant's video.

(ii) in general, resize the videos and shared screen windows.

#### Why would you like to do it?

Sometimes during the meeting, we may want to see the video of a participation.

Similarly, during the presentation, sometimes a video of a participant covering some text and moving that participant video would be required.

#### How would you like to achieve it?

### Have you considered any alternatives?

When a video covers the shared window text, hiding the "side-bar" helps. But there we cannot see the participant video at all. That does not help.
