I know it is a very crude heuristic.

(Or "Zoom"? etc.) Right, like I said, it's just a heuristic ...

But not checking whether a video conferencing is taking place at the moment would annoy users (including myself) much more, because my app would then barge into a video conference (it goes full-screen automatically, depending on the user's preferences, which the other video conferencing parties won't see, but it's still kind of annoying).
