After I answer a call or I call, we both have black screen and nothing is happening. If however a call starts, video and sound stops comming (other person still can see and hear me, but on my site everything is silent and frozen).

about:crashes is empty. Any other ideas? I noticed that video and sound freeze happens exactly after 5 minutes, no more, no less so it's even weirder.
