Additional Screen Features

[topperge]

I was browsing another project for Google Meet integration and saw they implemented the following features. Would be great to have the same here:

• In lobby
  • In the lobby, 2 buttons are enabled:
    • Start next scheduled meeting.
    • Start instant meeting.
• In green room
  • In the green room, there are three buttons enabled:
    • Enter meeting (Join now).
    • Mute/unmute mic.
    • Enable/disable cam.
• In the meeting
  • While in the meeting, there are sevent buttons enabled:
    • Raise/lower hand (when available).
    • Enable/disable captions (when available).
• After meeting
  • Rejoin meeting.
  • Return to home screen.

The implementation I'm referencing is here: https://github.com/petele/StreamDeck-Meet

I assume the goal here is to support similar features, but as a "normal" StreamDeck plugin that doesn't take full control of the device?

If so, it shouldn't be too hard to add the buttons we're currently missing. (See #2 / #11.) I'm also working on a bit of refactoring of the browser extension as part of #7 that should make it easier to add new buttons going forward.

Reproducing the changing of button layouts on different Meet screens seems like it will be a bit more awkward using the official StreamDeck API, but it does at least look possible with some workarounds. The API doesn't let us directly control which actions map to each button; that's set entirely by the user within the StreamDeck app. What we might be able to do instead is request the app switch Profiles, and we could fire that event during transitions between meetings, so we might be able to reproduce a similar effect. It looks like you can even bundle "suggested profiles" into a plugin, and the StreamDeck software will prompt the user to add those profiles during plugin installation. As part of this, we'd probably also need to add a Property Inspector to allow users to configure this behavior and disable automatic profile switching if that's not a feature they want.
