These are NOT group video calls! Most ppl don't even notice video chats because they won't ring. Group video calls should actually RING the others and would not force them to be in the same group.
I strongly agree with this. The point of group calls is to call people as a group, not invite them to a watered down Skype meeting.

Why is it impossible to add a person who is not in the same group to the conversation? Or how to add person to call without group? Why it is impossible?

I agree with you guys. This is not group video calls. In Whatsapp you can start a video call and add participants. This is not possible in Telegram as of today.
