Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?
Use an element client with video and audio call support on android tv.

#### Why would you like to do it?
So users can have video calls on their tv with android tv.

#### How would you like to achieve it?
I use a google android tv chromecast and have a usb webcam attached to it. I'm able to install the regular whatsapp android client via aptoide and it works with the usb webcam to make calls etc. just like an android phone. There is also support for google duo but did not try it. Skype I could not install. Maybe other people also would want to run it on their tv and there could support be added for element?

### Have you considered any alternatives?
google duo, 3cx, and whatsapp work but would be nice if i could use matrix/element
