Proposal for more intuitive personal camera + mic controls. Thought of giving this a try as I familiarise myself with the codebase! The current design has the page video + personal controls grouped into the same toolbar, which can be tricky for first time users.
Main page video controls stay in the toolbar at the top. Moving the camera + mic controls. Adapting the style/approach from popular meeting/conferencing apps to overlay the camera & mic controls on top of the preview tile. Muting the mic will also flip the audio level indicator to red to make it clearer that the mic has been muted.
