I have to click on Element Call a lot to make the video connect.

[lampholder]

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to a call.element.io URL (in Firefox nightly)
2. I can hear and I think usually see other folks' video, but they can't see me
3. I have to click on the UI a bunch, then a second later the video connects

I know this is not usually how computers work, but I have verified the behaviour by leaving arbitrary amounts of time before clicking (between seconds and minutes) - it's not just that my running out of patience for video to connect (and beginning to pummel the UI with clicks) and time to connect match precisely.

@lampholder in this case , is the element call tab always active/visible and in the foreground?
