Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently when you share your screen there are 2 problems that come up very frequently:

  • The infinite nested Talk screen when the Talk tab happens to be shared

  • The "stop screensharing" button is very small and inside another menu, while the "leave call" button is very prominent. As a result many people accidentally leave the call when their intention was to stop sharing their screen. ref #5864

Describe the solution you'd like
A better indication that you are sharing your screen and a more prominent "stop screenshare" button
Examples:
Zoom doesn't show your screen in the first place, there is just a hint on top that shows a thumbnail of your screen

Google Meet shows a warning over the infinity screen and a "stop screenshare" button on top
