You still need to install a mobile app first. On XMPP I can create an account even if I don't own a smartphone.

Does XMPP allow e2ee group video calls?

Yes, but its early days and only few clients support it. You can try it with Dino.

I dunno, never used video calls outside of college (and hell I hate that). I heard Jitsi can do it though, again never tried myself.
