Switching to second camera immediately switches back

Something is wrong with how watch2gether handles multiple webcams. Here’s how it is supposed to look. First, it should ask for access to ANY webcam, and accept the users choice:

https://www.imgpaste.net/image/Snl5V2
https://www.imgpaste.net/image/Snl927

Then, if you switch camera, it should ask for permission for that camera:

imgpaste SnlIww

Only then it can try to actually use it.

What w2g instead does is, it asks for permission for your first camera specifically, not allowing to pick a different one:

imgpaste SnlOj3

Then when you try to select the other, it doesn’t ask for permission and just silently fails and switches back:

imgpaste SnwKf5
imgpaste SnwVrx

(it seems to retry forever, as my first cam keeps switching on and off) I have tested with many different websites, w2g is the only one who fails to do this properly.

Disallowing links AND images really helps making proper reports btw. Goddammit noone is forced to click them.

Thanks a lot for your input. I only tried multiple cams on mobile where it was working fine for me on Android and iOS. Which browser / OS are you using? Did you try a different browser on your system as well?

I’m using Firefox 133.0.3 (64-bit) on Windows 11. It works in Chrome and Edge, which don’t distinguish permissions between individual cameras. It is possible to request this all-camera permission in FF too, but for some reason w2g seems to request only one camera in FF.

Thanks for the info. I‘ll run some tests with Firefox and a multicam desktop setup.
