Hi, do you have a feeling that Signal is starting to have very significantly bad video call quality of video calls? I've been noticing it for a while and it's just really probably the worst on the market right now. When I play a telegram video or FaceTime video in the same place at the same time, the quality is significant better. I videocall through the signal to the same person and it's really a tragedy. Don't you have a similar feeling? (I tested it between two iphones 12 Pro)

iPhone 12 Pro with iOS 15.4 and also latest Signal app 5.32 on both phones.

And please, go to hell with something "there is missing info. " I tried to do that a long time ago. But nobody was interested and it was closed... but the bug is still there and nobody cares. My old bugreport
