VoIP Ringing Fix
The VoIP issue where other tabs continued to ring after clicking "Ignore" on an incoming call in one tab has now been resolved.

VoIP Call Drop vs Ignore
We have resolved the issue with the functionality of the ignore button for incoming calls.
This is how the two buttons work:
The Ignore button silences or stops the call from ringing on the user's end, while allowing the caller to keep hearing the ringing. The call remains active but is not answered. Click the ( X ) ignore the call.
The Drop button, on the other hand, immediately ends or disconnects the call, terminating the connection between both parties.
