💡 Overview

Migrates the participant tile and everything drawn on top of it onto the design token system.

The tile's overlays used to be positioned and coloured ad hoc — the name label sat flush in the bottom-left corner with a hardcoded background, the speech indicator was a bare group of bars, and the placeholder shipped its own avatar/initials implementation. They are now token-driven and share one primitive: Avatar grew a size scale and an optional outline, and BaseVideoPlaceholder renders it instead of duplicating the image/initials logic.

Components migrated

  • Avatar — new size (xs–3xl) and showOutline props, two-letter initials fallback
  • ParticipantView — participant label, speech indicator, connection-quality indicator, menu button, speaking outline
  • Video placeholder — now delegates to Avatar
  • ScreenShareOverlay
  • VideoPreview
  • PiP layout and the react-dogfood / egress-composite sample apps

Maps onto Figma's Core / Web / Avatar and Video / Web / Participant Tile.

📝 Implementation notes

  • The participant label is now a floating pill: inset 8px from the tile's bottom-left, radius-lg, on background-core-overlay-dark-strong with a backdrop blur, instead of a flush corner box. Its text and icons are themed through one new hook, --str-video__participant-label--color.
  • The name is wrapped in a str-video__participant-details__name-text span so it can truncate at 160px while the indicators next to it stay put; the pill itself caps at 256px.
  • The speech indicator became a 24×24 chip with its own overlay background, matching the other tile indicators, rather than three loose bars.
  • Avatar sizes are a Sass map over the --str-video__size-* tokens, emitted as str-video__avatar--size-* classes, each with a matching font size for the initials fallback. 3xl is 104px — there is no size token for it.
  • The outline is an inset box-shadow rather than a border, so it doesn't change the avatar's box size.
  • --str-video__icon--low-bandwidth now points at the new filled variant, so the track-paused indicator matches the rest of the icon set.
  • Playwright screenshot baselines for egress-composite are regenerated.

⚠️ Breaking changes

  • Classes: str-video__video-placeholder__avatar and str-video__video-placeholder__initials-fallback are gone — the placeholder renders str-video__avatar / str-video__avatar--initials-fallback. Anything styling the old selectors needs to move over.
  • Initials: Avatar's fallback now shows up to two initials (first + last word of name); it used to show one.
  • VideoPreview is no longer a fixed 500×375 box — it's 640px wide, max-width: 100%, aspect-ratio: 16 / 9.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6e165

This change updates participant and avatar visuals and adds a local speaking outline. Remaining stylesheet quality errors may block validation, while the speaking indicator may render beyond its intended size, so these issues should be addressed before merge.

155-157: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the speech indicator within its 24px box.

.str-video * applies box-sizing: border-box, and --str-video__size-24 is 24px. The 7px padding leaves 10px of content width. The three 2px bars and two 3px gaps require 12px, and flex-shrink: 0 prevents compression. Reduce the padding or bar spacing so the bars fit within the control.
