I'm not sure if the feature is to be implemented here or not, but is there a way to make element call work without federation ?

With it disabled I run into an issue where jwt tries to access the /federation endpoint.

Looking into the jwt repo it seems to be expected : https://github.com/element-hq/lk-jwt-service/issues/96

### Workaround for non-federating servers

Please note that im not a developer, I've just seen this talked about in the MatrixRTC channel and seen it suggested. This may come with other caveats not noted.

The documentation PR #1429 hasnt made it's way to the site yet, but it seems for now you can "enable" federation and then explicitly block federation from all servers using a regex as explained here. (open the file for config) https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/src/commit/9a52157d7d10f8bb17e7d029399f73e9ff208b45/docs/calls/livekit.mdx#L342 Please note that im not a developer, I've just seen this talked about in the MatrixRTC channel and seen it suggested.
