participate but the other condition applies. (So the obvious case is, that this
is the first user in a new call session).
### Limitations and recommendations
- Encrypted rooms configured as `mentions only` are currently not sending push
notifications for encrypted events. Hence the client would not ring even though
the ring event contains `m.mentions`.
- As a stop gat, it is recommended, that the client sends unencrypted `m.call.notify`
events in such rooms.
- As soon as [MSC3996: Encrypted mentions-only rooms](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3996)
is supported `m.has_mentions` should be used instead of unencrypted call
notify events.
- Wanting to ring a user who you do not have a shared room with is not possible.
It might be an undesired capability that your device can be started to ring
by users you have not yet interacted on matrix.
On the other hand this might be desired to mimic what ppl expect from using
the telephone network.
Entering a matrix userId allows to call someone (Ring their phone).
(It would be possible to disable/configure this on the receiving
device)
- The location to put this information would be the invite event.
This would be an edge case and only required for the specific usecase
of being able to ring without a shared DM/Room.
It should be discussed in an additional MSC and is not part of this proposal.
## Alternatives
It would be possible to use the call member room state events to determine a call start.
It would be possible to use the call member room state events to determine a call

The logic would be as following:
_If we receive an event we check if are already other members
(call.member events) for the call. In case there is not we make the phone ring._
