How do I make a call with my friend on xmpp? (lemmy.ml)

My friend and I use a trashserver.net xmpp account and tried to call each other (my friend uses pidgin.im on windows virus). I tried to call him, but it was disabled on my linux pidgin client and the call function does not show up on dino and conversation as well. Do these clients not support calling or is it hidden from me. can someone help me?

Pidgin does not support the modern voice/video call function that is in Conversations.

On Windows you can use movim.eu in the browser to make calls. There is also an inofficial Windows build for Dino that in theory should work.
