I would like the option to hide (and reveal) chat bubbles during video chats. This will allow for more real estate during presentations. Also, many participants do not want to be on display at all times. Moderator control of video chat windows would be very helpful. He/she could now prompt participants that the chat windows will come back for discussion, etc.

@jtk - The button appears to show the list of current participants:

 

and when clicked, the button’s tooltip text changed to hide participants:

 

The participants popup stays open until you either click the button again or it auto-closes when you click on the board. I would expect it to stay open when until I click hide participants.

Here’s what happens even if I am the only person on the board:

 

Does this popup appear for you?

Oh. I did not notice that. I was looking for a way to temporarily not show the video feeds so I could use more of the board.

@jtk - That kind of feature request sounds familiar, but I can’t find a post about it. Let me know if you’d like this post converted to a Wish List Idea for people to vote on.
