Is your feature request related to a problem you are facing?
Please describe the problem you are trying to solve.
When events are run with participants that do not know each other, having the user's name displayed only on hover makes it hard for participants to focus just on the conversation and instead they spend time trying to remember / find out peoples names

We currently used CSS to override this to always display on custom build, but are looking to move onto the JaaS platform shortly.

Describe the solution you'd like
Please describe the desired behavior.
Create a configuration in the config.js that has a setting like "always display username"
Display the users name on the bottom left of their thumbnail
Display the users name on the bottom left of their videostream when in tiled view

Describe alternatives you've considered
Please describe alternative solutions or features you have considered.

We are currently using CSS to override this, but as JaaS does not currently support this, we will not be able to permanently display user names, without a configuration being made available.

Examples of our standalone implementation here
display name in tiled view
Display name in thumbnail
