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).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Understand how the current video/audio streaming works (likely using WebRTC). Then implement an idle mode that captures a photo every N seconds using the MediaCapture API and replaces the video stream with periodic image updates. Consider adding a toggle for users to set themselves as idle in the UI.
