Description

Hi,

would it be possible to let users change the user icon to provide instant status feedbacks like

  • "I can not here you"
  • "I'm confused"
  • "I'm bored"
  • "I need help"
  • "I'm convinced (by what you say)"
  • "I'm sceptical"
  • "I agree/disagree/have no opinion about that"
  • "I have a question"

?

I know that you could create channels for such feedbacks and let the users just join the channels but the idea is: Giving a lecture the users can directly indicate what the lecturer would normally see by facial expressions.

Thx for Mumble!

Research direction
The issue requests adding status icons for conference feedback (e.g., confused, need help). Look at the client UI code in src/mumble/ to understand how user icons are currently displayed. Investigate adding a map of status icons and a way for users to select them. Consider implementing a signal/slot mechanism to update the icon across clients. Check existing PRs or discussions for prior work.
