Summary
Context
As a Hello user in a conversation, I can start sharing any window (excludes Firefox windows) from within my conversation so that link clickers can see it.
Acceptance criteria:
- A new 'Share' button is available in the conversation UI
- Clicking the 'Share' button offers the user a 'Share other windows option
- Hovering the 'Share other windows' option displays a list of all available windows to share. This excludes the Firefox window.
- The user can select any window from the list of windows offered to him to initiate sharing of this window.
- When sharing is active the 'Share' button turns green and the Hello icon turns green. An infobar informs the user how sharing window works. The infobar can be dismissed by the user. A visual indicator, visible whether Firefox is in the foreground or the background informs the user that sharing is active.
- Sharing can be stopped by:
- Clicking the 'Share' button again
- Leaving the conversation
- Closing Firefox
- When sharing becomes inactive the 'Share' button turns grey and the Hello icon turns grey.
