📺 Improved Full Screen UI
We've revamped the look and feel of full-screening videos! You can full-screen someone's video by clicking on their video in your video carousel. The biggest changes include:
- All non-full screened videos will now be vertically stacked on the right side of your screen
- The nickname of the person you have full-screened will be listed on the bottom left
- You can easily close full-screen mode by either clicking the minimize button in the upper right or by pressing the "ESC" key on your keyboard.
