Video feeds are an alternative to using a window layout. They can give you a fullscreen experience while still enjoying the control you get with a window layout where each character has a dedicated rectangle on your screen.

For everyday use, it's nice for verification purposes - that they're all accepting/finishing the quests, teleporting, logging in, accepting group invites, trade windows, that their "out of breath" bars are gone when resurfacing from under water, etc. All those small little things gets taken care of.

It's also extremely easy to set up a fullscreen-kind of video feed, since you don't need to set up any source or make sure everything is positioned properly. Just use is1/is2/etc as name and you'll get their entire screen.

I have a Click Bar on top of the video feeds so I can mouse-click to bring up that particular character and do whatever I need to do with that particular character (with full FTL support).
