Animate microphone icon as someone speaks to help identify microphone configuration issues #18645

Duplicate of #17627 |
Sorry, I tried searching, but used the wrong terms it seemed, glad it's already bring tracked as an improvement. Too be fair, it's a variant of this idea, but I think it will roughly help with the same problem. I'll wait the merge to see if it helps with those kinds of debugging problems. |
No need to worry about it :) |

Your use case
What would you like to do?
Most video calling software have a small indicator that you are speaking. I would like the much improved one-on-one calls to also have this.
Why would you like to it?
It's a very useful debugging util to show people their selected microphone is picking up sound. Or other the opposite, you've just plugged in a headset (or connected a Bluetooth one) and the switch wasn't made. I've seen this in many other video calling solutions, and it's a very subtle thing, that I think a lot of people would appreciate.
How would you like to achieve it?
Have you considered any alternatives?
Alternativly a bar below the settings menu where you switch a microphone, but that is less Visual. Ideally you want to help the scenario where both sides are trying to debug why they aren't hearing one side.
Additional context
There is already a microphone icon (to show muted status) animating/coloring that in some relation to sound input would I hope be a small step to make, while improving UX.
