Description

Currently, the i button for participants displays a tooltip on hover. This isn't very well discoverable/accessible. It just isn't a common pattern nowadays.

Instead, this information should be displayed in a popover.

Research direction

Start by locating the participants info button and the hover tooltip implementation in the frontend. Replace the hover-only presentation with a popover that users can open through an accessible interaction, then verify that the participant information is displayed without relying on hover.
