In what situations would someone need to communicate they need help over video?
If the abuser is in the room a hand gesture would be quite dangerous and if they’re not voice could be used instead. In situations where the abuser is too close for verbal communication, surely text would be the next safest option?
Perhaps there are some situations where only video is available making this necessary, but I can’t think of any video conferencing software which doesn’t also support text messaging.
I’d be worried promoting this will either result in people trying to alert others and failing because of a lack of awareness, or people simply misinterpreting someone waving to say hi or bye as a call for help and wasting people time.

If said partner checks your phone you lower the chances of being caught, one can assume you were just waving goodbye or something. Same applies to signalling people outside your window, police or neighbors.
