Huh, it might be interesting if the size of each participant's image could be controlled programmatically, e.g.

* The more you speak, the smaller your square gets

* The square varies in size based on the emotion in your voice

* Your square gets larger the longer you've had your hand up without being asked to speak

* The squares change size to equalize the size of everyone's face on the screen, eliminating the effect of camera and distance
