Calls and video need polish

[giannissc]

I have been using singal for a while know and while I am very appreciative of the feature that it has gotten the past few months (redisigning of the calling interface, pinning conversations, picture-in-picture etc.) signal still fails to do adequately the one task that it is supposed to do: Calls and videos. Sometimes the voice sounds robotic, sometimes the video is too blocky, sometimes either voice or video is interrupted every few seconds rednering both people unable to communicate, sometimes calls are disconnected. It is just not a very usable experience; pushing me every time to use alternative solutions such as normal calls, instagram video or facebook messenger. Every other application I have tried in similar conditions does not have the same issues or it doesn't have them as often as signal does.

I know this is not really a proper bug report just thought I would post this in case other people have similar issues or if some advice can be given so that I can resolve them since I like signal so much.

Other issues with it include:

• Video when videocalling is underexposed making it really hard to call someone in low light situations. This is not an issue when using the camera to take a photo from within signal, it is much brighter.
• There no seemless transition from to wifi to cellular (4G) some times resulting in the call being disconnected

Again thanks for all your good work and hope I hear from you soon!

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
