Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When someone calls me, the video call and voice calls are seperate. When an iPhone user video called me, I accepted as a voice call and neither of us saw each others video feed. (I didn't see the iPhones because I was in voice mode, and the iPhone user didn't see mine, because well, voice call) The point is, that I don't know the intention of the person calling.

Describe the solution you'd like
Instead of two buttons for both voice and video call, show only one for the mode, the person calling chose.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Always picking up as video call, but it's more user friendly to have only one button and I have to turn off my camera after joining if we only want voice call.

Additional context
How to solve for when calling from desktop? Maybe display only video call button as the user doesn't have to have the camera turned on and if accepted as voice call, you cannot turn on the camera afterwards.
