When we minimize the meeting window on Mac OS via the yellow button, 2 requests for PiP are triggered one after another because of the blur and the visibilitychange handlers. If we implement in Electron to focus the meeting window on the pipLeft event this will lead to the first request to exit triggering the pipLeft event after the second request is triggered which will actually bring the window back because we focus on pipLeft event. This behaviour breaks the ability to minimize a window.
The current fix will prevent us for sending 2 requests for PiP one after another by skipping the second unnecessary request.
Implements Picture-in-Picture functionality for the Electron wrapper to maintain video engagement when users are not actively focused on the conference window. This feature addresses the need to keep users visually connected to the conference even when multitasking.
Key features:
- Automatic PiP mode activation and deactivation based on user interaction
- Displays large video participant's stream or renders their avatar on canvas when video unavailable
- Provides audio/video mute controls via MediaSession API directly in PiP window
- Adds API events (_pip-requested) for Electron wrapper integration
Implementation includes new pip feature module with Redux architecture, canvas-based avatar rendering with custom backgrounds support, and integration with existing mute/unmute logic. Depends on jitsi-meet-electron-sdk#479 for proper user gesture handling in Electron.
