Description

It would be great to be able to set yourself (and other people in a room) as idle mode. Instead of sending video/audio it just takes photos every N seconds (just like Sqwiggle).

Research direction
This issue requests an idle mode feature that periodically captures photos instead of streaming video, similar to Sqwiggle. To implement, explore the existing video/audio handling code (likely in client side JavaScript) and modify the media stream to switch between continuous video and periodic snapshots. Consider using the MediaRecorder API or canvas capture. No maintainer comments are present; the feature is well described but lacks technical details.
