Google Meet has two great features that don't work well together:

1) I can minimize my own face in a Meet so I'm not distracted by my bad hair, and

2) if I switch away from the Meet tab, it makes a mini window that I can put near the camera so I am looking at people and it doesn't take too much screen space.

BUT: the mini window still has my face... Why!? Can I do anything about this?
