Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. Join a call in a Matrix room
2. Leave the room while in the call
3. Re-join the room (and the call)

The call will periodically drop for you and then reconnect after a couple of seconds.

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?

After rejoining, we were expecting the call would proceed as normal.

#### What happened instead?

Instead, the call was unstable, dropping Giannis every so often for a couple of seconds. It was finally resolved when (I believe) Giannis restarted the client.
