Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. Where are you starting? What can you see?
I am in a normal phone call on my android device and open the element-call website
3. What do you click?
I click on one of the recent calls at the bottom

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?
A smoth video in the lobby view and the call.
#### What happened instead?
I only see frozen frame of myself but no video in the lobby preview. Restarting the call does not solve the issue. When joining the call I still have a frozen issue

### Operating system

Android

Research direction

Start by reproducing on Android Chrome or Firefox while the phone is on a normal call, checking both the lobby preview and the joined call. Compare the local video behavior with and without the phone call; done means the local feed remains live rather than showing a frozen frame in both views.
