How to build large-scale end-to-end encrypted group video calls

Not only that, but how can I use Signal on desktop without it? Can I do that? Plus every single citizen here who has a phone number has it tied to their identity, even if they buy the SIM card at the gas station, for example. They have to verify and confirm their identity once a year. Its purpose is to keep track of who uses what number.

You can use signal on a desktop but you still need to tie your account to a phone number. It has a mechanism to share your history and all that to a desktop app, with key certification managed (afaik) from your phone app (and it requires periodic re-pairing of it if you're not using it regularly). It's not really a great experience imo.
