Comments:

• Role
• Mutual conversations, events (?), … Should be done by related resources?

I'd vote for:

• showing conversation info in the sidebar instead of blocking modal - to always have important links/info close

[ShGKme]

• Having a tab for more detailed events

We have more than enough tabs... Shall we consider merging Details + Shared items, like some messengers do it?

Mockup from Telegram:

[nickvergessen]

• On mobile, show in conversation info
• "View profile" button? In browser
• Hijack "conversation created" system message with some profile info

I personally like Meta Messenger, it's simple, organized and intuitive.

Show all the time (collapse during call and allow to fold out again)

• Big avatar
• Role
• Pronouns
• Timezone
• "Button for shared items"

Show in "Shared items"

• Mutual conversation

Additional ideas

• Move shared items to "full tab" like messages search
