Calls and video calls do not appear in Firefox browser. no icon and no item in the 3-dot menu
It seems that the problem, after tests with other browser, is only in Firefox.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: [Windows 10]
  • Browser [Firefox 98.0.2]
  • Web K Version [1.4.0]

I can already tell that WebRTC is used for voicecalls, and I suspect that the fact that it does not work on Firefox is related to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC#Concerns
"In January 2015, TorrentFreak reported a serious security flaw in browsers that support WebRTC, saying that it compromised the security of VPN tunnels by exposing the true IP address of a user. [...] the uBlock Origin add-on can fix this problem (as some browsers now fix this problem by themselves, from uBlock Origin v1.38 onwards this option has been disabled on these browsers). As of September 2019, this WebRTC flaw still surfaces on Firefox 69.x and still by default exposes the user's internal IP address to the web. [..]"

It is not connected to that. It doesn't work yet because of SDP issues.

A temporary solution I found was to change user-agent via plug-ins

Chromium abandoned the proprietary SDP plan B in favor of the standardized SDP unified plan since version 101, so it should work now (version 108, microsoft teams has a similar problem).
