Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I create a conversion with 2 or more other people and then join that as the first participant, I hear a constant ringing sound until one of the other people join the conversation. This can be quite confusing since I do not call someone directly but only join a planned meeting. And when the other participants need 1-2 minutes to join as well I have a constant ringing for 1-2 minutes.
Describe the solution you'd like
If a conversion is not just with one single other person there should not be an outgoing ring tone since you don't call someone directly but only join a planned meeting with multiple participants.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Offer the possibility to disable only outgoing ring tones completely. At the moment you can not disable outgoing and incoming sounds separately.
Additional context
Jitsi Meet and Microsoft Teams also do not produce "outgoing ring" when you join a meeting with other people. Microsoft Teams will only ring, if you call one person directly.

Research direction
Start by tracing where outgoing ringing is triggered when joining a conversation, and check whether the participant count is available there. Verify the behavior for one-to-one calls and multi-participant meetings; joining a meeting with multiple other participants should not play the outgoing ringtone, while direct calls should retain it.
