   Hi August!   
      
   09 May 2020 23:13, from August Abolins -> Richard Menedetter:   
      
    AA> It is prudent to not allow web apps control hardware on your pc:

   I have again learned a new word (prudent roughly equal to intelligent I guess).   
      
   Anyhow.   
   Here the camera is secured by a slider, that you need to slide manually over,   
   otherwise you get a black video.   
   Additionally you have a hardware LED that is lit when the camera is active.   
      
   If you want to have a video conference you need to allow video access.   
   And I do not see the difference weather I allow access to the browser or a   
   specialzed app like teams or zoom.   
      
   When I go with the browser to my https secured webpoage with Jitsi that I set   
   up, and it asks me to allow video access, I feel quit safe.
