To be addressed by the Brave Talk sidebar button under discussion.

cf., https://bravesoftware.slack.com/archives/C01BC0K5QP7/p1632244380210600 ... briefly, something similar to this feature is planned for the sidebar.

One idea can be to have a persistent Brave Talk Icon in the omni bar with text Switch to similar to Open in Tor that way irrespective of which window you are in you can switch to Brave Talk tab if you just click on that button

Maybe we could use this thing?

Instead of play/pause, it could be mute/unmute/leave/etc.

@wknapik - sorry, what is "this thing"? a little more context please, thanks!

This is covered as a request in the linked brave/brave-browser#15051.

@mrose17 sorry, don't know what it's called. But @stephendonner linked to an issue that should make it clear.

(@mrose17 I'm guessing you may have read my comment in a notification that excluded the attached screenshot)

[mrose17]

@wknapik - thanks! it's called the "global media control", and is supposed to work on any tab that plays sound, cf., https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/9692215 ... so i'm asking the jitsi folks what they know about it.

apparently it shows up only for <video/> tags but not for webrtc (that includes Google Meet)... still researching
