Microsoft has suggested an enhancement for Chromium that could significantly improve calling experiences across numerous popular browsers. This update will allow applications like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and any other web-based platforms utilizing the Notifications API to utilize this innovative feature more efficiently. Microsoft has already demonstrated a working model of this concept to Chromium.
Microsoft suggests enhancing the Notifications API standard for handling incoming calls by enabling customization of action buttons in notifications and allowing the app to play a specific ringtone. This feature would help users quickly identify incoming call alerts amidst other notifications, thereby improving responsiveness, and boosting web accessibility.
As a researcher, I find Microsoft’s proposal intriguing, as it suggests a mechanism that could allow web browsers to give higher priority to call notifications compared to other types of alerts, thereby ensuring that important calls are less likely to be missed or overlooked amidst the stream of digital communications.
Currently, web apps can deliver notifications when a call comes in, but these notifications have certain restrictions and don’t include options like answering a call. The innovative feature suggested by Microsoft aims to enhance this functionality by allowing developers to incorporate customizable action buttons within the notification, in addition to the standard dismiss button.
Microsoft discussed the benefits of its proposed API extension in a blog post:
- Are visually distinguished from other notifications.
- Have customized buttons, which can be used to answer or reject a call.
- Have a ringtone associated with them.
- And have a higher priority than other notifications, when supported by the platform.
To see the API in action, you can test it using a demo application within Microsoft Edge. Microsoft provides clear instructions on how to accomplish this in their blog post and welcomes your valuable feedback if you decide to give it a try.
Microsoft is asking for your input regarding this proposed API. If you’re intrigued and willing to contribute to its development, kindly review the explanatory document, then share your thoughts by creating a fresh issue within our repository.
