I think that in 1-to-1 conversations there are too many call-related messages.

Consider for example the following situation:

So, here two users have tried to call each other 4 times in a short time span. This could be seen as a special case, but it isn't. Especially when you are on the go and calling from a mobile device there maybe a "call me in 5 minutes.." proposal from on of the participants, connection issues due to poor networks, "I joined with video and you didn't.."...

However as we are in a 1-to-1 conversation I think that:

• there is no need to specify who started the call, or at least not in a standalone message. The call is either incoming or outgoing.
• there is no need to specify who ended the call, as the call ends for both participants.
• there is no need to specify participant names, as they are defined by the context. In a 1-to-1 there cannot be a 3rd participant.

So these messages output could be basically reduced to 4, similar to the following (just for the sake of the example):

Attempted outgoing call
Outgoing call, duration 3:01
Incoming Call, duration 0:11
Incoming Call, duration 5:41
