Don't we already have this via config.json?

    "element_call": {
        "participants_limits": 8,
        "url": "https://example.com",
        "use_exclusively": false
    },

Or is the point that the URL should be switched to use .well-known/element/call.json instead?

EW has already a mechanism to configure the widget URL within its own config file. No need for a change now.

But ED (element-desktop) can only be configured via a local config.json. It would be nice to make the Element Call url configurable via the .well-known/element/element.json url, so ED will use the right Element Call instance

We also need this to work with Element Desktop...

You deploy Element Desktop configs in the exact same way as Element Web.
