Usability enhancements to the Modern Express client

This update introduces the following usability enhancements to the redesigned Modern Express client:

Usability changes to indicate the leader's move to the Agenda Builder

In this update, when a leader moves to the App-based Agenda Builder during the session, the Modern Express client now displays a new icon and replaces the lock icon for the leader in both Modern Express and App clients, to indicate that the leader has moved to the App-based Agenda Builder during the session.

New icon for leader in Agenda Builder

The new icon is displayed for the leader in both card view and list view in the Attendees panel as well as in the Gallery view. The leader card in the Gallery view and the tile and row in the Attendees panel is grayed out as well.

Changes to the display of participant's initials in card title

Prior to this update, if a user did not have a profile picture, then the initial on the card title of the user displayed only the first letter of their first name. This caused ambiguity in identifying users in a session when multiple users had their first name starting with the same letter.

In this update, if a user does not have a profile picture, then the initials on the card title are now displayed as follows:
  • If the display name of a participant contains one word, then the initials on the card title displays the first two letters of the word.
  • If the display name of a participant contains two words, then the initials on the card title displays the first letter from each of the two words.

Usability change for Text Chat

Prior to this update, when a participant opened the Text Chat panel, the cursor focus was not in the 'Please Type a Message' text box. So, users had to perform an extra step of clicking in the text box before they could start typing the message.

In this update, when a participant opens the Text Chat panel, the cursor focus is now directly placed in the 'Please Type a Message' text box. This enhances the user experience while using the chat.
