Galène is supposed to automatically set a video bitrate that works for the
connections of the users.  If the link from the sender to the server
doesn't drop packets in a timely manner, Galène might overestimate the
rate.  In that case, the sender needs to reduce their sending rate using
the « Send » dropbox in the side menu.

Once that is fixed, Galène will accurately estimate the bottleneck
throughput, and we can default « Send » to « unlimited ».  Right now,
setting « Send » to « unlimited » may cause lag unless the bottleneck
router is well implemented.

I'd like to be able to click on a video, and have the video appear in
large (taking 3/4 of the browser window) and have the other videos appear
as thumbnails in the right margin.

Ideas?

In normal usage, you just close the browser tab, no?
