Hello

From scanner or camera doesn't seem to be functional for me, the option is grayed out. Does it apply for webcams?
The webcam is working fine, I went on tinychat and had it working, it only required a permission in the web browser.
Maybe there is a permission I didn't allow?

The "or camera" part refers to an actual digital camera and not a web camera
