Description
this is not an issue in the web interface as one can open other tabs, but here it's most definitely noticeable.
More research is needed, but it seems that the two solutions adopted by the others is one of the following
- Reserve some portion of the window to the current call's controls and have them always visible no matter which conversation one is in at any given time.
- Open the call view in an entirely new window
I'm more keen on the first solution as it works well for both browser and desktop, but let's think about it

Research direction
Start by examining how the desktop client switches between conversations and how the active call view is managed; no specific files or tests are named. Compare the two proposed approaches—persistent call controls or a separate call window—and determine which fits the desktop and browser experience. Done means a user can join another conversation without losing access to the active call.
