I’m excited about the group Audio / Video calls with signal. We need more easy to use end to end encrypted communication tools.

Signal introduces convenient “call links” for private group chats up to 50 people with creating a group

Users can control who joins the secure group chats by requiring admin approval when a new join request is created, so the host can approve or decline them.

Nice to see such chats also have features like raising a hand button, emoji reactions, enhanced desktop call views, microphone and camera muting, switching video source, etc.

And it is cross-platform too, so this should make it really easy for everyone to use. What with Telegram defaulting to no E2EE and WhatsApp leaking metadata like a sieve, Signal has become an attractive private and secure option for most users. Yes I know all about Session, Threema and SimpleX (and I use all three) but I have no friends using them, so they are not yet a mainstream option really.
