@dryak Maybe a start could be to switch to direct peer-to-peer connection if Signal sees that both sides are in the same subnet (i.e. on the same wifi).
In that case they connect to the signal server for connection with a voice-data profile *at the same time* which already gives away that they are talking, so staying in the subnet with a direct peer-to-peer connection would reduce the total privacy loss.

@dryak but firstoff, to stop discussing with too little information: the reason they use a forwarding server is that a single device can’t send video to 40 people via direct connections. Here’s their description: https://signal.org/blog/how-to-build-encrypted-group-calls/ That also shows the level of complexity involved already. @davep @yawnbox
