Will element call be supported by robrix? I didn't find it in the list #basic-room-views-and-fundamental-actions

I'd like to support it at some point, yes.

I didn't find it in the list #basic-room-views-and-fundamental-actions

Yeah, it's hardly a basic feature 😅.

I was just discussing that with Timo and Florian from Element yesterday, and we have a few ideas on how to implement it.

However, there are a lot of additional pieces of functionality that need to be implemented before we can even start working on this, including but not limited to:

• many platform features:
  • streaming multimedia support
  • camera input
  • audio (mic) input
• Either using a webview or waiting for a MatrixRTC rust sdk to be available
  • if we go the webview route, we need to add platform support for accessing the system's native webview, or packaging one along with Robrix (meh), or something else.
