How the Reconnecting… screensaver works
The saver renders a familiar video-call interface frozen mid-frame, with a "Reconnecting…" banner and spinner overlaid.
The frozen look and spinner cycle convincingly, exactly like a real dropped call.
No camera, microphone, or real call is ever involved — it is a purely visual screensaver.
Press any key or move the mouse to exit, like any other screensaver.
