Description
Features a-like this one (pure frontend, server is only needed for cross-device support) e.g.:
- call without media https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed/issues/13446
- blur background https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed/pull/13490
- compact conversations list https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed/issues/11697
can be supported with Desktop client with old servers, but keep it in BrowserStorage instead of sending a request to backend

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked Talk issues and pull request for the proposed features, then examine how the Desktop client uses BrowserStorage and when it sends backend requests. Define which frontend-only features must work with old servers, while preserving backend requests for cross-device support; the work is done when the agreed feature scope and storage behavior are implemented.
