Model Suggestion Phone Size

[Galle]

Suggestion Title: Phone Size
Suggestion Description: Let us change the size of the phone preview in the bottom right corner make it smaller or bigger depending on what we need.
Maybe even add an option to hide it while still staying on TeamSpeak so it is not previewed on screen at all.

I know this has been suggested before, but I wanted to bring it back onto the dev team's radar. Adding the option to resize or hide the phone preview would really improve usability and screen space management, especially for smaller setups.

Why should this be added?:
The phone preview can take up valuable screen space, especially on smaller monitors. Being able to resize or hide it would help users keep their workspace clean and focused, without losing access to TeamSpeak functionality. It gives more control over the interface and improves the overall user experience.

What negatives could this have?:
- Users might accidentally hide or shrink the phone preview and forget it’s running.

- If it's too small, it could become hard to interact with or see important info.

- Developers would need to ensure it works smoothly across different screen sizes and setups, which could add complexity.

What problem would this suggestion solve?: The phone preview takes up space on the screen, which can be distracting or get in the way especially for users with smaller displays or when multitasking. This suggestion gives users more control over their layout, helping them stay focused and organized while still staying connected through TeamSpeak.

Perhaps make it so when the player removes focus from the phone by pressing Z again, the phone actually lowers itself and will only be half visible.

Yes, that would work as well. I believe there could be multiple options available, such as the ability to minimize, resize, or split the screen. Additionally, there could be a special function for TeamSpeak: if you're using TeamSpeak, you could have the option to remove the phone display from your screen while still remaining connected to the app.

Some resolutions do indeed have a silly phone size. I don’t like the idea of completely hiding the phone or limitless minimization, because using Teamspeak has always had that trade-off between gaining better comms vs having a diminished view in combat. Like a sort of stand-in sensory loss of surrounding hearing if someone irl were wearing headphones or earbuds while in combat.
