Description

Steps to reproduce

  1. Using the Zfold4 & brave, start a call
Expected behaviour

Tell us what should happen

UI should be minimal to support the call & associated chat. All unrelated buttons & options should not be present. The open keyboard should be accounted for & not hinder UI usability. The UI should not freeze & be otherwise responsive.

The UI should perform well without running the processor hot.

Actual behaviour

Tell us what happens instead

Screenshot_20230708_145519_Brave

The top global navigation to navigate to other apps is overlayed on top of the top navigation of spreed when the keyboard is open. When the keyboard is closed, the top navigation is very close to the top navigation of spreed. The top global navigation should not be present during a call.

The search & navigation sidebar can be opened during a call, restricting the view of the call. When the sidebar is opened, it cannot be closed.

The processor runs hot during the call on the current flagship phone. The app needs to be more efficient.

I got into a state where the UI was completely unresponsive. As you can see in the screenshot, the "Leave call" dialog was open. All of the buttons were unresponsive. The call continued, but the video was completely blocked by the sidebar & dialogs.

In general, the app was very difficult to use. The icons were not obvious to their functionality. There are too many icons & buttons unrelated to the call. I was unable to discern which icons & buttons were related to the call. Most of the icons & buttons did not relate to the call & hindered the experience of the call. Please remove all unrelated icons & buttons during a call & make the relevant icons & buttons obvious to their function.

Research direction

Start by reproducing a call on a Z Fold4 using Brave, with the keyboard and search/navigation sidebar opened, and observe the Talk call UI, responsiveness, and processor usage. Compare the global navigation, call controls, sidebar, dialogs, and keyboard behavior against the reported screenshots. Done means the call view remains responsive and usable, unrelated controls are absent, and performance is improved.
