Description
for video, we can totally do it, but I wouldn't want it to be on by default.
also I was thinking it would be cool to save bandwidth by converting video to ascii (e.g. http://blog.nobel-joergensen.com/2011/11/12/creating-real-time-video-ascii-art-using-kickjs-and-webgl/) and sending the ascii along, rendering it in the corner of the screen. that way you can see if the other person is around, but it's low res enough that it isn't uncomfortable

Research direction
The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the WebRTC video path in the screencat codebase and determine how video is currently handled. Done would require an agreed design for optional ASCII conversion, bandwidth savings, transmission, and corner rendering.
