Steps to reproduce

1. Start a group call
2. Change to any 1:1 chat room with CTRL-/⌘-Click
3. Try to change back to group call room by clicking on the room

Expected behaviour

"Leave this page" should return to the 1:1 window and (maybe) "join here shouldn't be available at all:

Actual behaviour

• On windows 11 systems the 1:1-chat window crashes the client. It needs to be restarted again.

• On macOS (10.15.) the 1:1 window crashes (you can close it) and in the back you drop out of the group call:

Technical background: you cannot join the same conversation twice from the same browser/desktop client.
Maybe the desktop client could handle it in a way that it knows that you have that call open in another window and simply bring that to the foreground?

Yes, that would be an option as well. Or as mentioned above an additional message that says that you can't join twice not showing the 'join' button at all?

If you do nothing at all in the web UI you are redirected to
https://example.com/index.php/apps/spreed/duplicate-session

Maybe another option would be to get back to the talk room you tried to join the duplicate call from?

I took over that POC and I think they had the hint from us... 😬
