     Signal has been running on Signal video for a long time, and the addition of call links about a month ago was a MASSIVE quality of life improvement.

     Seriously, give them a try! Imagine, not sharing the contents of your daily standup with a large video conferencing company!

     Something that isn't really clear to me after reading the announcement: do other participants need a Signal account and a locally installed Signal app? Or can you just join from your browser?

     When it comes to video calls, closing issue #8529 that is still unresolved after 5 years would be a much more massive quality of life improvement, for those who depend on metered cellular plans.

     In all those years, stale bot tried to close it, since nothing happened. A workaround was presented as a pull request - closed by stale bot. People keep telling you under this issue that this prevents them from fully switching to Signal.
