Description

Implementing VoIP calls in downstream projects is not simple. Web clients can and must use the native browser implementation, but desktop and mobile clients don’t have that option, so e.g. Fractal doesn’t support calls at all. matrix-rust-sdk could provide helpers that make it easy to support calls in desktop and mobile clients.

Research direction

The work is done when the SDK provides clearly defined helpers that enable desktop and mobile clients to support VoIP calls, but the issue does not identify entry points or tests.
