Explore different layout for media controls on desktop

Project Member Reported by rachelis@chromium.org, Sep 11 2017 
For YouTube, the scrim barely extends beyond the controls, so almost none of the video is dimmed (or lightened) when controls are shown vs. hidden.

In the Chrome Desktop media controls, the scrim affects the bottom half of the video, and is quite visible, and that's really what I was commenting on.

The YouTube scrim is shorter than ours, which has to do with the differences in the layout (on desktop, they have their time/icons underneath the scrubber). We'd be willing to explore this layout change on desktop in the future, but haven't prioritized the additional work in this case due to the smaller usage on desktop.

Thanks for filing for follow-up.

Re: usage, we don't have metrics to look at the intersection between these things, but if you combine watch time (say ~10x in favor of desktop) with usage of native controls (~10x in favor of mobile), then the visibility of our desktop UI is just as high as our mobile UI.

Thanks Mark!

I have to admit, I'm not sure I fully understand this in relation to the other metrics I've previously discussed. Is there a deck that you and Jon usually share to bring our current metrics into context?

There isn't a deck, but thanks to some great recent work this is an internal (to Google) dashboard that can be used to better understand usage.

This is obsolete: the scrim was shorten.
