That is implemented on iOS version of the client. Could this help in bringing this feature to Android as well? Please! 🙏🏻

@mnaturel , I'm not sure if you are a right person to tag, please, correct me if that's not the case.

Is there something could be done to have this on Android as well?

Hi @alexander-potemkin, unfortunately I am no longer part of the team but I will let @bmarty answer to this question. In most cases and if possible, I guess anyone can submit code changes to improve the app.

Oh, yeah, I'm sorry to hear that and thanks for stepping in anyway!

@bmarty , I understand that anyone can contribute, I'm wonder if you can help with some guidance on how you would like to see things done, to make sure it's done promptly and accepted by the team.

@mnaturel , I'm sorry to bother you, especially given that you are no longer part of the team!
I guess @bmarty is not in a position to assist here, probably you aware of someone else who can help here?

Hello! Perhaps @ganfra or @BillCarsonFr could give you a reply on that?

@alexander-potemkin. Everything is possible with software but the Element core team is actively working on Element X Android, not this project anymore. PR are welcome.

This is not useful to ping individuals, already busy on their tasks.

@manuroe , I'm aware about Element-X, but it seems like not on par with current Element functionality and it will take some time to get up to speed.
I understand that everyone has something to do and I didn't mean it's not that. Being interested in that feature, I tried to get some responce and/or guidings or a rejection, to make sure I understand things correctly.
I hope @mnaturel help wasn't anything off the limits - from my perspective, it was an enormous help in navigating in the team structure I'm completely unaware off.

The reason I'm asking is exactly to make sure that the dedicate resources won't be wasted and PR would be accepted.

Could you please, let me know if there is anything to be considered, apart from Contributing rules, to make sure the group calls functionality will be accepted and merged promptly? Probably, some insider perspective, if that's not too much to ask?

Thank you in advance in any way!

@alexander-potemkin am also working on this feature but unable to find the settings to enable this group call feature. If you find something kindly let me know.

This feature is not implemented by Android team, it only exists on iOS version.

Development is required and the team is mainly focused on Element-X now, so a that version is outside of the scope of they attention.

I'm trying to figure out the requirements to implement it (and have it merged!), but didn't get much so far, unfortunately.

@manuroe , I understand that Element 'Classic' (not X) is not in focus now, but is there any chances you could review and ideally approve pull request from Timur (mentioned above)?

I understand it's a long desired feature and I would be glad to see it Element Android, alongside Element iOS.

Shall anything be required - please, let us (myself or @Turubaev) know.
