Voice (and Video)

[George Lambrou]

I like Mr. Hosey's idea, but not as the main video view. I could see
it working best as an 'out of tab' view, i.e. video chatting with
person X while in the message tab of person Y.

The way I see it, if a video chat is started, then the user is going
to want to focus on the video, maybe send one or two short messages
along the lines of "I can't see/hear you", or a link to a webpage. A
video frame in the corner would not be the main focus to me.

Don't get me wrong, though, this idea sounds perfect for when the user
switches away from the video tab.
