Toolbar

I redesigned the in-session toolbar with a modernized UI and capabilities like seamless multi-monitor support, directly impacting the daily workflows of over 100M global end users .

Drag and drop

Users can drag the toolbar and snap it to any screen edge. It seamlessly adapts to both vertical and horizontal layouts.

Pinning

Pinning keeps the toolbar persistently visible rather than minimizing it into a tab, granting immediate access to session controls. Pinned toolbars can be dragged to any side of the screen and automatically snap to the nearest edge upon release. This prevents the menu from hiding after executing quick actions.

Connection

The Connection Strength Indicator (CSI) provides real-time insights into network health. By exposing these stats clearly, end-users can troubleshoot connectivity issues independently, significantly reducing IT support tickets.

Launch video

I built the feature launch video using Rotato. It was a great excuse to learn a new motion tool, and the final cut was shared internally with our team.
