On/Off Toggle for Saving Call Data (e.g. Auto-hang up)

In previous versions of Discord, private calls on desktop would auto-end after five minutes if you were the only user remaining in the call. This was great as you didn't have to worry about your computer or laptop staying on indefinitely should you accidentally fall asleep, not be able to reach your laptop at that moment, etc. Unusually, this feature wasn't present on the mobile version of Discord.

I understand this feature has now been removed. However, I think it would be really useful (especially for mobile users) if it returned - but as an "On/Off" toggle instead, and across all device types.

This way, users who wish to remain in-call indefinitely without being bothered by repeated bot prompts can do so, while those who use portable devices such as laptops, tablets and phones can toggle this feature on to help save bandwidth or data on their device. I know I would find this particularly useful when travelling, or having conversations very late on the phone when I'm close to falling asleep, haha.

The feature could also include other 'in-call' data-saving toggles as well; for example, the ability to toggle on/off whether you automatically start watching the other person's video camera or stream during a call (again to minimise the amount of data/bandwidth being used by Discord).

Thank you and I hope this feature might be considered. :)

If the discord could be put again so that the person who sits alone in the call after more than 3 minutes would not be thrown out of the call, it would be more convenient

Дискорд верни пожалуйста функцию сидеть одному в звонке, мне уже надоело что менч выкидывает со звонка если я сижу одна в звонке без собеседника, если исправят эту функцию и поставлю в гугл плей 5 звезд

Discord, please return the function to sit alone in the call, I'm already tired of what the mench throws out of the call if I'm sitting alone in the call without an interlocutor, if they fix this function and put 5 stars in Google play

Hi Ekaterina,

I hear you, I've seen a lot of people comment that they prefer to be able to sit alone in calls indefinitely. Do you feel like it would be useful for Discord to have a "toggle" where you could switch this function on or off, depending on which one you want?
