works fine for me. if the app had launched i'd ask you to submit feedback (which ends up in our bugtracker). as it hasn't, can you file a bug on github.com/vector-im/element-call/issues with a copy of the javascript console so we can see what's breaking? you might also want to disable any weird browser extensions to see if that's to blame.
In Native Matrix VoIP with Element Call
Arathorn·Mar 5, 2022
Currently we don't force TURN, so in practice this means that voice packets go direct between the clients if possible, and so the IP addresses of the clients are necessarily exposed to each other. However, this is utterly trivial to fix: matrix-js-sdk already exposes https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/blob/96ba061732b... and we simply haven't exposed it as a setting in Element Call yet. I've filed a bug for it at https://github.com/vector-im/element-call/issues/251 - thanks for bringing it up! In terms of moderation: this is no different to moderation in Matrix as a whole, where we're already busy working on shared greylists (MSC2313 and friends) - https://matrix.org/blog/2020/10/19/combating-abuse-in-matrix... has more details at the end.
In Native Matrix VoIP with Element Call
Arathorn·Mar 5, 2022
The media quality that you hear is entirely up to the sender's WebRTC implementation. If you're calling another Element Call user, we currently use the default audio constraints when capturing audio: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/blob/96ba061732b... - but if you wanted stereo, you could put { channelCount: 2, sampleRate: 48000 } or whatever into that line to achieve it. I'll file a bug to make this configurable. EDIT: https://github.com/vector-im/element-call/issues/249
