Steps to reproduce

  1. Start a video call (2 participants with Firefox Android in my case)
  2. Click "F" for fullscreen

After restarting the laptop, I couldn't reproduce the crash, yet. I will try again later and try to deliver logs.

Expected behaviour
Actual behaviour

The complete monitor froze. Audio and Video still worked, though.

Research direction

First reproduce the crash during a fullscreen video call on Linux, especially with Wayland and Firefox Android as described. Collect application or client logs before restarting and compare the behavior with the reported v2.0.6 and Talk v22.0.8 versions; done means fullscreen no longer freezes the monitor and the expected behavior is documented.
