A few days ago they switched to Beta. Yesterday I tried video calls. A person with an Android device called me and I was able to pick up the call and talk to her. So it's an important progress. Although I saw that the chat area shows the start time of the call, the duration of the call is not displayed. I think it would be good to keep track of this there as well. Kind regards, Daniel
