4b0464b2a12b doc: add end-user A/V calls documentation: Goffi <goffi@goffi.org> parents: diff changeset	110 Making or receiving a call not only shares your device's unique online address (similar to a unique phone number) but also informs others that you're currently online. This means people can see when you're active, much like noticing you're home when the lights are on.

4b0464b2a12b doc: add end-user A/V calls documentation: Goffi <goffi@goffi.org> parents: diff changeset	118 - Be Selective: Only initiate or accept calls from people you trust.
4b0464b2a12b doc: add end-user A/V calls documentation: Goffi <goffi@goffi.org> parents: diff changeset	119 - Network Usage: While the call feature is designed for use anywhere, including public networks like in restaurants or hotels, be mindful that unfamiliar networks might be less secure.

1dc23ba67f47 doc (user/calls): add screen sharing documentation: Goffi <goffi@goffi.org> parents: 1550 diff changeset	124 Sharing your desktop or a specific window offers another layer of accessibility to the person on the other side of the call. This means they can see everything displayed on the chosen screen, including personal files, notifications, and other sensitive information that might be accidentally displayed.

1dc23ba67f47 doc (user/calls): add screen sharing documentation: Goffi <goffi@goffi.org> parents: 1550 diff changeset	127
1dc23ba67f47 doc (user/calls): add screen sharing documentation: Goffi <goffi@goffi.org> parents: 1550 diff changeset	128 - Review Before Sharing: Before starting a screen sharing session, close any unrelated applications or windows. Ensure no sensitive information, like passwords, private messages, or confidential documents, is visible.
1dc23ba67f47 doc (user/calls): add screen sharing documentation: Goffi <goffi@goffi.org> parents: 1550 diff changeset	129 - Stay Aware: During a screen sharing session, remember that everything on your screen is visible to the other party. Avoid accessing personal files or confidential information.
1dc23ba67f47 doc (user/calls): add screen sharing documentation: Goffi <goffi@goffi.org> parents: 1550 diff changeset	130 - Use With Trusted Contacts: As with audio and video calls, only use the screen sharing feature with individuals or groups you trust.
1dc23ba67f47 doc (user/calls): add screen sharing documentation: Goffi <goffi@goffi.org> parents: 1550 diff changeset	131 - Understand Browser Permissions: The browser will typically ask you which screen, application, or window you'd like to share. Ensure you're only sharing what's intended. If in doubt, choose to share a specific application or window rather than the entire screen.
1dc23ba67f47 doc (user/calls): add screen sharing documentation: Goffi <goffi@goffi.org> parents: 1550 diff changeset	132
1550 4b0464b2a12b doc: add end-user A/V calls documentation: Goffi <goffi@goffi.org> parents: diff changeset	133 Always prioritize your privacy and be aware of the information you share while using the call feature.
