@nikitonsky @MisterMoo if i slide it left i still don't know what happens, and the current mode is implied not explicit. "Sliding it turns on so must be off now". But if they were not ovally connected it would be better. Like a pair of radio buttons each. Coloring and graphics are fine imo. (Only because you asked)

@clusterfcku @nikitonsky Thanks, agreed. This isn't an intellectual thing. I just didn't find it intuitive when I saw it this morning.

@clusterfcku @MisterMoo so is it that control itself is unclear to you? I am really curious

@nikitonsky @clusterfcku The most common way to do this kind of toggle is to use color to identify when something is active. Your icons for 'off' and 'on' are gray, with only luminance to distinguish them. You're asking people to intuitively understand that the brighter icon means it's on. That's going to be a leap for some people. I'd be curious what this would look like without the 'off' icons in the slider space, and instead having that area be filled in green.

@MisterMoo @clusterfcku yes, colors is something I didn’t spend much time on, just copied Google Meet design. Could be tuned

@nikitonsky @MisterMoo indeed i am not criticizing, but share "gut reaction" thoughts because that's what matters here. More than once did i press the bright red button with intent to unmute and of course that ended the call instead...! If i press the brighter microphone and slide it left, do i get what's bright on top or what's going under the slider. It shows mic is on, and slide to mute, or tap to make mic on and slide over mute to make mute go away?
