Fullscreen Mode with Integrated Chat Panel for Videos

I’d like to request the addition of a Fullscreen Mode for 'Videos + Chat Panel' in Fluent Community (e.g., /space/space-name/post/post-name).

Designed to provide a distraction-free viewing experience while maintaining user engagement and ability to comment and view comments while watching. This feature would enhance the usability of video content and foster a more immersive experience for users.

Key Features:

1. Distraction-Free Fullscreen Mode:

• A dedicated fullscreen option to maximize the video player and hide all surrounding distractions (e.g., headers, footers, and sidebars).

1. Integrated Chat Panel:

• An optional, collapsible chat panel on the right side of the fullscreen mode, where users can read and post comments in real-time while watching the video.

• This design mirrors the functionality seen on other popular platforms, keeping users engaged without leaving fullscreen.

1. Responsive Design:

• Ensure the feature works seamlessly across all devices, with the chat panel adapting for mobile by docking below or overlaying the video.

Benefits:

• Enhances the video-viewing experience by reducing distractions.

• Encourages real-time interaction without leaving fullscreen mode.

• Creates a modern, polished interface that aligns with user expectations from similar platforms.

This feature would significantly improve how users interact with video content, making Fluent Community more engaging and user-friendly.
