If you are using OG Pinephone videocalls are "never" gonna work (Pinephone "chokes" way too easily when you are recording video).

Never say never. There is work ongoing on making the original PinePhone work with libcamera. (It is included in megi's 6.2 kernel. Unfortunately, this rework of the camera drivers comes with some changes to the media graph that mean that Megapixels needs adapting, which has not happened yet, so distros are likely to withhold the 6.2 upgrade until this is addressed. But it will land eventually.) That should make more applications work with the camera.

Even if the video "chokes" at times, it should not crash the whole videocall.
