Voice call support

[kofalt]

Slack has added a new voice call feature, and it's pretty slick. When I hit the new call button in Scudcloud, nothing happens.

When running Slack in Chrome, a new slack.com/call/id tab is opened to start the call. My guess is that Scudcloud just needs to support opening a browser window from this button.

Hi @kofalt and thanks for reporting this!

Sounds like a nice workaround!

I'll work on this tomorrow at my morning and publish a new version.

Playing a bit with the voice call: the trailing id to start a new call is the current channel id.

@kofalt What happens when someone tries to call you?

[kofalt]

I saw a momentary link to the call, and then it would immediately switch to a missed call notification.

Re-opening, as this is fixed only to start calls.

Slack changed the button id. I'll update to reflect it.

Any ETA on this feature? Would be really awesome to have it!

[raelgc]

@mattias-avelin I just fixed the button to start the call. To fix receive a call, I need to check what is expected to be in place.

Last time I tried, the work colleagues tried to call me, but the official client was not working with the calls too. I need to try again.

This issue is still present. Totally not possible to make or receive calls from Slack Linux app.
