This is similar to how FaceTime and other calling apps work, allowing you to switch apps while keeping your friend in a little PiP (picture in picture) floating window

Note this currently only works for one on one calls, which are also e2e encrypted

previously it used a custom in-app PiP which meant you couldn’t switch apps without your video pausing
