Yeah, you have to enable a setting. I think it links you to it when you run into it. Much more of a turn off to me is not being able to use my camera in it, so I have to use a different browser for video calls.

how, what's happening when you try? didn't you check the "never ask this permission" box for the camera permission on settings?
