Enhance call notification

[tobiasKaminsky]

• add "answer" / "decline" button to call notification, which opens browser and joins call
  • does this need talk help?
• can response time be quicker? Not wait 30s
• native integration or generic tray notification by us
  • later we want to add predefined replies, so we need more than "accept" / "decline" button, so please check if this would be possible with native integrations
  • mac os
    
  • Windows
    
  • Linux?

Notify_push already should do it?

[tobiasKaminsky]

• which opens browser and joins call

@nickvergessen is this possible to directly join?

[tobiasKaminsky]

For second step: add quick reply

[nickvergessen]

• which opens browser and joins call

@nickvergessen is this possible to directly join?

No, not at the moment

Ok, then this is out of scope right now.
Once it is possible from Talk side, we will add it as a new issue to implement it.

@camilasan
Can you check what is better (UX, but also time wise): native integration or generic tray notification by us?

Later we want to add predefined replies, so we need more than "accept" / "decline" button, so please check if this would be possible with native integrations.

@jancborchardt @tobiasKaminsky I think it will be easier and quicker to do the generic tray notification.
I think we can make it look the same in the 3 platforms as the one for Windows (the screenshot in the issue description).

[tobiasKaminsky]

Using our own notification would also make sure that we can add custom replies later 👍

Mockup here too, as talked about in the call :)

Details:

• Text and buttons should use the default OS font size
• Location:
  • Top right in macOS and Linux
  • Bottom right in Windows
• With some whitespace from menu bar and right screen edge (same amount of space in both directions).
• And rounded corners, just like the tray menu.

[tobiasKaminsky]

• Top right in macOS and Linux

For KDE this is totally unusually. Or at least for most users where tray bar is on bottom.
To have it more flexible (and if it is possible), shouldn't it be on right side on bottom/top, depending where the tray bar is?

[claucambra]

We have existing code for positioning the tray near the OS task/menu bar, IMO we should just position in same place

Sure, that works. :) My info was that we can only position it near the mouse cursor. But positioning it near the menu bar (or where the icon is) is better.

Also @claucambra, we were talking about possibly having a blurred version of the avatar in the background (like we do in the web, and like Teams does in the screenshot above, and others on mobile) – this could possibly look like this:

(Gaussian blur size 50px, and brightness decrease so the text is legible.)
But if it’s easier to do native notifications e.g. on macOS, then that would be even better.
