There was a problem hiding this comment.
There is one outstanding issue I see with this atm. The use of the GroupCallParticipants to display video elements is quite concerning to me. I find this solution quite ugly and not very scalable. I would very much prefer to stick to the current model of using CallFeeds and VideoFeed and AudioFeed components.
The are multiple reasons for this:
- Using
GroupCallParticipants feels like saying each participant is only sending one feed which isn't true - Using
CallFeeds matches the current way of doing things and allows us to reuse already existing code CallFeeds are screen-sharing friendlyCallFeeds are SFU friendly - with an SFU oneGroupCallParticipantmight be sending a bunch of streams, each one represented by aCallFeed(and corresponding components)
To be clear, I am not saying GroupCallParticipant should be removed or anything along those lines, I just think CallFeeds are better suited for being consumed by components for displaying video and playing audio
