ktam - could you (or anyone who might know) help me figure out who could own the desktop equivalent of this? Marking the bug as all platforms for now.
UI Review approved the following changes to the default Chrome media player:
- Add three-dot overflow icon to menu as the width narrows. Additional items (full screen, cast, etc.) move into this overflow as space allows.
- Darken buffered amount from #9A9A9A to #5A5A5A (for Accessibility)
- Darken volume background scrubber from #9A9A9A to #5A5A5A (for Accessibility)

Questions for Chrome eng when this gets assigned:
1) Can the overflow menu open wider/taller than the media element? The preview shows how we might not be wider but we could be taller. What are the limitations?
2) Say when you start scrubbing the other controls go away and the player scrubber bit takes up the full width of the toolbar. What's the expected hours of work to make that happen? Is there any eng interest in doing that? (I know it's not a top-priority and would be a lot of work.) Curious for thoughts/ideas there.
3) There's a related thread on adding CC/Subtitles to the player. (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=495851) Not sure how to get eng aligned there but note this bug and that one overlap so toolbar work could conflict. It would be good to reach out to those eng to make sure things happen smoothly together.
