Description
Description:
If "always open in new window" is not enabled, then you are forced to remain in the DM/channel where you placed the call, making it so you can't go to other channels/DMs and check other messages.
Steps to reproduce:
- Enable jitsi
- Place a call
- Try to click on another channel or DM
Expected behavior:
You are able to place calls and also check other channels and DMs
Actual behavior:
Jitsi call ends if you leave the channel/DM where you placed the call in
