Asciinema has a hilarious full-screen mode, at least in FF: it's a fully black screen with a small video in the center.

Also, I wonder if terminal lovers should maybe lobby for a set of Unicode symbols with more ‘pixels’ than the Braille 2×8.




Considering that terminals can display images just fine you'll have a hard time convincing Unicode that you need arbitrary pixel sets because somehow images are plain text (emoji had prior usage in plain text and they have a lot more semantic meaning per character than just some pixels).


Support for images is spotty and inconsistent, whereas ‘display unicode characters in a given font’ is the central thing that terminals do these days.
