Call button inexplicably missing for some audio-capable conversations

[andres-erbsen]

Here is a user-experience sob story; make of it what you will.

I just spent half an hour figuring out how to place a call using jmp.chat, after having successfully received a call from the same contact first. Turns out what I needed to do was to

1. Copy-paste the jabber id (which I found under top-right hamburger by trial and error)
2. Click the "+" with hover-text "start conversation" (I was just trying all the buttons)
3. Choose "start conversation" again even though I had just clicked a button with that description
4. Delete the contact that was already there -- otherwise the "Add" button is inexplicably greyed out later (I was stuck on this puzzle for a while)
5. Add the just-removed contact again
6. Accept the subscription popup (I just said I wanted it! Already feeling conditioned to blindly click through these)
7. Click the call button that magically appeared on the top right. it worked! 🎉

Could this experience perhaps be streamlined somehow? One big idea: the call button could always be visible, triggering the subscription on demand if necessary. A number of the other points above could also stand being addressed independently of this.

Thank you for a neat app!

You need to add each other as contacts, hence the "accept subscription" that helped.

I think that's a part of it, but there was already an entry for the right jabber id on what I thought was a list of contacts, which I needed to delete first, but which didn't count for making the call button appear.

This seems related to #1272

I just reproduced this one with Dino 0.4.3-2 on Debian Trixie.
