Config setting to have screenshare in expanded state by default

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When starting a screenshare the preview is pretty small which can make it hard to see whether you are actually sharing the right window/monitor.

Describe the solution you'd like Have an option in the client settings.yaml to select the default behavior (small or expanded) when screensharing.

Describe alternatives you've considered This has already been discussed in multiple issues #18433, #7183, #9308. Some prefer having a larger preview, some prefer having less visual back coupling. This solution would allow all of them to have it their way.

Additional context When you are doing screensharing it is reassuring to be able to check what exactly the viewers are seeing right now.

People who rarely use the feature have to be trained or have to realize on their own that they can make the preview larger. People who often share their screen have to expand the preview every single time.
