[dbkr]

Documentation: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_HEq5skPp1Yp559hYp2FSO2ecw8mJQR8lOvgsmYOEro/edit?usp=sharing

Implementation(s):

• matrix-widget-api

An extension to the widgets API to allow widgets to remain on screen whatever room the user is viewing. Current use case is video calls.

I'm not sure there'd need to be any changes to the widget API from a spec perspective. What did you have in mind?

[dbkr]

Hopefully the proposal explains all :)

[turt2live]

Ah, I see. It's a capability being requested by the widget. That makes a lot more sense :D

[turt2live]

note: this is built upon the currently undocumented widget API (#1236)

Looks good to me :)
