Screenshare UX improvement - fullscreen

[francislavoie]

Summary

Related to #251

Feature request: I'd appreciate a button to go straight to full-screen from the small call widget instead of having to click "Pop-out" and then click full-screen.

The usecase is that if I'm full-screen currently (to better read the text on the presenter's screen), I have to click twice to minimize it so I can go open a chat to reference something or send a quick message, then click twice again to pop-out and fullscreen to get back to the call.

Using Mattermost 7.2.0 (and desktop Linux 5.1.1)

Steps to reproduce

• Start call with someone
• Ask them to share screen
• Click Pop-out
• Click Full-screen
• Realize I received a message, or want to send a message to someone while on the call
• Click to close full-screen (or ESC, whatever)
• Click to "un-popout"
• Send message or w/e
• Have to click two times again to fullscreen again

Expected behavior

I'd like a full-screen button directly from the small widget (to the right of pop-out probably).

Thanks for the feedback @francislavoie, it's highly appreciated.

We are actually in the process of changing the desktop experience for calls quite a bit. The widget is set to become its own floating window and the expanded view won't be covering Mattermost channels any longer. As for a more efficient way to go straight full screen I'll defer to our UX designer but it's great input which we'll discuss internally.

Will give you an update here as soon as I have more information on this.

It would be nice to have a double-click action to toggle full-screen, anywhere on shared screen. Maybe as an option in settings...
