Hi.

I have a vague recollection of having asked for some variation on
this before but, since I can't find it...

For those of us who are remote _and_ working from desktops with large
and/or dual monitors, it would be really useful to be able to detach
the chat, and maybe the participants list, into separate windows/
frames so that they could be moved closer and/or magnified
separately.  Especially for those of us who are getting on in years
with vision issues to match, the character sizes in the chat panel
makes the chat extremely hard to read without getting one's nose
rather close to the screen which puts the main display out of sight.

For an example of what I mean by "detach the chat" seem Zoom Desktop,
at least on Windoz.

thanks,
   john
