The persistent > Voice mode: Hold Space to record (Esc to exit) banner takes up screen real estate. We should evaluate removing it or making it transient, to make it more palatable for users to leave voice mode enabled permanently.

Description

The persistent > Voice mode: Hold Space to record (Esc to exit) banner takes up screen real estate. We should evaluate removing it or making it transient, to make it more palatable for users to leave voice mode enabled permanently.

Requirements

  • Review and potentially remove the persistent banner from the UI.
  • Ensure users still have an intuitive way to discover the push-to-talk keybinding without the permanent banner.

Epic: #24175

extent analysis

TL;DR

Consider making the voice mode banner transient to free up screen real estate while maintaining user discoverability of the push-to-talk keybinding.

Guidance

  • Review the current UI design to identify potential locations for a transient banner or alternative notification method that informs users about the push-to-talk keybinding.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of replacing the persistent banner with a one-time notification or a discoverable tooltip that appears when the user first enables voice mode.
  • Assess the impact of removing the banner on user experience, ensuring that users can still easily discover and use the push-to-talk feature.
  • Consider adding a subtle reminder or hint about the push-to-talk keybinding in the UI, such as a small icon or a brief text label, to aid user discovery.

Notes

The solution will depend on the specific UI design and user experience goals, so a thorough review of the current implementation and user feedback is necessary to determine the best approach.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Make the voice mode banner transient to balance screen real estate usage with user discoverability of the push-to-talk keybinding.
