Feature request

When I send out my invitation (public link) for a conversation to a guest user that does not have any account on my Nextcloud server, the user can only take part using a browser. - I'd rather give them the opportunity to use one of the Nextcloud Talk apps instead. Especially on smartphones, but also on desktop environments it would be a great enhancment, if using the Talk app would be possible without login.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Web, Talk Desktop, Talk Android, and Talk iOS issues to understand how the guest public-link flow is divided across clients. Confirm what guest users can currently do in a browser and define completion as joining public conversations from the relevant Talk apps without an account.
