Embedded calls should prefer homeserver `matrix_rtc_session` settings over defaults
Your use case
What would you like to do?
Currently, calls using the embedded version of Element Call use the default set of options for matrix_rtc_session. This means that if your homeserver is slow or prone to restarts, you cannot adjust the rates at which you send or expire delayed events locally.
Why would you like to do it?
Homeservers have different implementations, exist in different environments, and have different uptimes / downtimes. It is not sensible to have a single config to apply to all of these, but to have configuration that applies based on the specifics of the homeserver.
How would you like to achieve it?
The most sensible way is probably extending the MatrixRTC spec to include sensible configuration. However, given this is Element Call specific, it might just have to exist as well-known values for the moment.
Have you considered any alternatives?
Simply bumping the defaults to cover all bases, although this has the dual problems of:
- It may not be enough in heavily constrained environments.
- This lowers the responsiveness of the application, as genuine disconnects go unnoticed for longer.
