Description

it seems that element android does not allow to use the fallback call assist server (turn.matrix.org), while riot android did, and element web does.

this option is useful for people running their own homeserver without a turn server. ideally, each homeserver should have its turn server, but it is not always possible to run one. it can be because of network traffic or computing power limitations, or because of network setup constraints. for example, when the homeserver is running in a home network behind nat and has a different ip address inside and outside the home network, running a turn server on it does not seem to work (or if it is, its configuration seems pretty challenging).

will you please add this option?
