Signal and Telegram include audio/video functionality on the desktop.

Also, not sure what they do to it (no Electron?), but Telegram feels super fast, really pleasant experience.

The fact that Telegram is a Qt app that looks nice and is lightweight makes it really good; it's just a shame it's centralised.

Almost any other messaging platform is dominated by Electron clients (bar the few very WIP Matrix clients such as Neochat).
