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.
