Feature request
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
- Starting a call requires 2 actions: Start/Join + Confirm, on the media settings dialog
- The dialog is modal, blocking the user flow. For example, from reading the chat
- In general looks very chat-first, with less call-experience
- Also good for lobby/guests
Describe the solution you'd like
- Starting/Joining a call immediately switches to the call view (without actually staring/joining any call)
- Navigation is collapsed
- Chat is moved to the sidebar
- Everything looks like "Waiting for others to join a call", but with the media settings instead
- During the call, media settings are integrated into the controls
- Media settings dialog still exists as the current dialog for Talk Settings and Dashboard

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by reviewing the proposed call-view flow and related issue #15025. Before implementation, define the affected start/join, lobby, sidebar, and in-call media-settings paths; done requires an agreed design covering those flows.
