SuggestingPotential video call layout for AustinShow

This is a suggestion for a general video call layout for AustinShow. It is laid out with a header and footer that would include video call controls in the footer and a timer in the header. Between is a series of rectangular panels to represent different users.

The problem

Austin has been using Zoom and Whereby for his Battle Royale styled dating show. Austin likes to move users' panels around a lot to better organise his guests while they are making their claim not to be kicked. Both Zoom and Whereby have basic animation for the panel that is being focused but it can sometimes be difficult to follow what is happening with panels that are not focused. On top of this, at the end of each round there is a bottom 3 section, Austin likes to put the bottom 3 in the bottom row but that bottom row does not always allow for 3 panels so it can sometimes become easy to lose track of who is in the bottom three.

The solution

Animation has been added for transitions between max mode and standard mode. When panels are moved, other panels will animate towards their new positions. Holding Shift or Ctrl while clicking on 3 panels consecutively will move those three panels to the bottom and enlarge them along with the panel in index 0 which should theoretically be the host. An effort was made for the panel's to maintain a 16-9 aspect ratio. This is can be changed if necessary.
