Description
By default the latest speaking person is promoted in the big screen. The problem with this is if somebody is coughing or making a short noise it is automatically promoted. It should be a bit of grace period added before the promoted speaker is added. For example if someone speaks for a bit longer the grace period should be a bit extended - in this way quick discussions are still interactive but short noise peaks are not that invasive to the video flow.
I would also like to have some feedback from @nextcloud/designers for the UX of this.
I got this as feedback during a conference.
