This could use a short introduction and especially an early backlink to #4143 as the foundation for this proposal.

I'm wondering if this should be an array rather than a single string. Could we possibly foresee any intents that could be combined? Like a video call but you want people to join muted maybe?

This field seems undefined here and in #4143. Could it be that this is a leftover from an earlier design?
Suggested change
| "scope": "m.room" |
