Sorry... saw and responded to Spencer's comments before reading
this.  And, yes.

Yes to that too.   I'm still (or again) using a separate Jabber
login to give me more control over that situation (and to take
advantage of having a lot of screen real estate, the ability to
at least somewhat control character sizes with that other
client, etc.  And, because people speak without turning on
video, burying the "who is speaking" information partway down
the participant frame rather than occupying a separate line in
the blank space to which you prefer seems, well, sub-optimal.  I
agree about the other parts of your "important" list too, but
"who is speaking" is the really critical bit.
