If you are starting calls from a web application on iOS, it's recommended to open a new tab because mobile device screen sizes tend to be small enough that there's not much room to embed the call as an iframe.
Note: The number one thing that affects call quality — and which eats up bandwidth and taxes CPU — is the number of cameras on during a call. The number of participants in the call and the number of cameras on are two different things. For example, a user on an old device can click to join a call with 200 participants. That user will be in the call. However, they will have a better experience if in that call limits the number of participants that have their cameras on.
