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.

CU, Ricsi

... I'd probably be famous now if I wasn't such a good waitress.
