What's Changed

This version of Element Call introduces the Telephone use-case for In-App Calling which is available in DM rooms.

Starting a Call in a DM room

• Users have a call-setup indication that notifies they’re waiting for the other party to pick-up.
• Users are able to abandon the call before the other user has accepted or rejected
• Users placing a call where the other user has not accepted or rejected will timeout and be shown a basic ‘call failed’ screen.
• UX feedback for a declined call
