Name tag on room screen-share tile sometimes hides important information

Apparently this is a particular problem when emacs users are sharing their screen, as emacs puts something important in that location.

Perhaps we can make the tag hideable, or only show it on hover.

Let's not do anything complicated about this. Maybe just consider moving the name tag (e.g., to the bottom right corner?)...

Or just move it to "below" the video area rather than overlaying. This would be trivial in CSS (just add a margin to the bottom of the screenshare video box to create some blank vertical space that the name tag will then sit on top of instead of the actual video)

Might be a shame to waste screen real estate on small screens, tho...

Bottom right is just as likely to cover something up in a different piece of software!

I think Zoom sidesteps this problem by not showing the nametag on screenshares. We could keep displaying the name tag on camera videos, as it's not likely to cover anything important. Then for screenshare tiles, we could just display the name tag for a couple of seconds when it first appears and when the user hovers their mouse over the tile.

That's a fine compromise, IMO.
