Flock v1.7.2

A new call screen in the style of Google Meet, connection badges that show whose internet is actually weak, and a tidier microphone and speaker list.

Upgrading: run the installer again or install the new package (config and database are kept). Phones need this APK for the new call screen and the Android fixes.

📞 Call screen

• One tile per person, yourself first, with the photo in the middle and the name in the corner. The tile of whoever is talking gets an amber border, including your own, so you can see that your mic is picking you up.
• Screen sharing takes the middle. When someone shares, their screen opens in the centre and everyone moves to a strip beside it (below it on phones), you at the top. Minimise the screen to go back to the tiles; tap the sharer's tile to open it again. The small "Your screen" window is gone.
• Hiding the controls makes room. Tap the call to hide the buttons and the stream and tiles grow into the space (441 → 667 px in testing). In a one-to-one video call your own video slides down too.
• Hide my video. Don't want to look at yourself? ⋯ → Hide my video on phones (a button in the dock on desktop). The others still see you; bring it back the same way.
• Weak-connection badges next to each person. Each person measures their own connection (their round trip to the server, plus their call links) and shares it, so in a one-to-one call only the person whose internet is weak gets the badge, not both. Your own weak connection shows as a tag at the top.
• The person being called now sees the caller's name instead of their own.
• The status tags at the top no longer touch the call area.

🎙 Microphone and speaker

• Cleaner device list. Chrome's extra "Communications - …" entries are gone, "Default - …" reads System default (device name), and USB codes like (24ae:7003) and Windows numbers like 3- are stripped from names.
• Your choice is remembered. The microphone and speaker you pick are used again in your next call.
• Unplugged microphone: the call switches to the system default instead of staying on a device that's gone.

📱 Android

• The in-call chat sits above both the keyboard and Android's navigation bar.
• Your own video in a one-to-one video call is drawn on top of the other person's video.

🔒 Secret chats

• The safety code always reads left to right, so in Persian it shows in the same order as on the other phone.
