More intuitive UI for Jitsi in a group room #17680

Is your suggestion related to a problem? Please describe.

Many get confused when looking for the Jitsi widget

Describe the solution you'd like.

Replace the audio and video call buttons in a group room with ONE different icon (I would suggest a Jitsi icon or something that is clearly a conference call), make it, so it stays green when showing, just like the hide widget icon. The Jitsi widget is in my opinion more than just another widget and I would try owning it, especially since there is no alternative in the foreseen future...

Describe alternatives you've considered.

Improve the unintuitive back and forth in the room info section.

FYI, Matrix-based group calls are planned at some point, though it might take quite some time
