User Videos to top of screen = Better illusion of eye contact

Since most users have cameras at the top of the screen, the user videos at the bottom of the screen increase the degree of separation of eye-contact. We need an option to move the videos to the top of the screen to minimize the effects of loss of eye-contact.

With them now working on pop-out chat: purhaps a configurable UI will be soon coming

Moved to roll20 recently, first thing players (and myself) tried to do was move the video boxes to the top for exactly this reason.

Yeah, I wonder why more people haven't really caught on to that. I think it may indicate that many people are using another app for their video.

Yes please! I'm scrunching my window up to the top of the screed to be able to watch the video properly.

You could probably hack the local css via an bookmarklet to do this. It would only be on your side though.

The groups I play with tend not to use video at all. When we first started, Roll20's voice was way too unreliable and we found other, better, options, but since they're in other windows we don't use (and didn't look for) video (among other reasons). It would be nice if we could tell roll 20 to just transmit video (rather than having to choose between nothing, voice, or video + voice).

Epsilon, there is another Suggestion for that.

This feature is going to be added with the new chat system I'm working on. It's currently on Dev so that any Pro subscribers can give it a try before it goes live for everyone else.

Played with this a bit. The default locations 'at the top' are placed in the same locations as the Token Macros (which covered the faces). Perhaps when the video at top option is active - the token macros can move down below the avatars based on avatar sizing?
