A closer look at the WebRTC UX/UI API
summary
Advocates concrete UI patterns: show a pre-call video preview and clear permission states so users don’t get turned on-camera unexpectedly, surface live mute/volume indicators, and use temporary overlays for chat on top of video. Build a short call-quality check that reports “video failed but audio OK” and downgrade or automatically pause video on poor networks (FaceTime example). For multiparty, prioritize dominant speaker, swap to broadcast for many listeners, and follow mobile spacing and swipe conventions (Hangouts, GV).
