It must be a QT 6 bug.

If you have two layouts try to change the keyboard layout before starting viber. For me, if I switch from en_US to el_GR viber starts. But it can not answer or make call. The  QTWEBENGINE_DISABLE_SANDBOX=1 trick doesn;t work any more.

Were you able to answer or place calls with the new version?

I did not try that, I don't use it for that purpose. I need only for groups and chat.

Apparently the problem is with the keyboard layout, or how a comma is located in 'variant' variable - I kid you not.
