Description

Instant messengers currently lists under Voice/Video Calling only the softwares that allows for group calling. This gives a false sense to the lambda user that only these softwares can be used for voice/video calls.

However, the instant messengers section includes a mix of softwares allowing for voice calls (Signal, Element) and others which only supports textual messages (Briar, maybe soon Session).

Nevertheless, 1-on-1 encrypted voice calls is a pretty common use case. Hence, I'd suggest to:

  1. Rename "Voice/Video Calling" to "Group Voice/Video Calling", to emphasize that it is primarily intended for group/work use cases.
  2. Either create a new section "Personal Voice/Video Calling" or ensure that each software in Encrypted Instant Messengers describe if they support encrypted 1-on-1 voice call, video call or only textual messages. The advantage with the latter is that we would keep the centralized/decentralized/distributed-or-peer-to-peer typology.
