Description
Steps to reproduce
- Join a call with audio only with around 10+ participants
- Set self to muted listen
- Walk around with mobile phone, which might cause variations of the wifi signal (I was doing that, not sure if it's the cause)
- Be unlucky 🍀
Expected behaviour
Call stays as is.
Actual behaviour
At some point, the screen showed "Connecting..."

I could still hear participants talking.
The most scary bit is that the mute button, which was muted all along suddenly showed that I was unmuted. Not sure if anyone could hear me then, I didn't want to disturb the meeting.
I was able to mute myself despite the "Connecting" message and no one mentioned hearing anything from me.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the audio-only call scenario with 10+ participants and intermittent Wi-Fi changes on Android. Capture Logcat at the reported event time, 11:17:37 CEST, because the issue currently provides no logs, source files, tests, or entry point. Done means the call remains usable without a misleading “Connecting...” state and the mute indicator accurately reflects the participant’s state.
