Camera permission

It would be good to include an option to block access to the camera, microphone etc . Helps a lot with privacy and handle spying by third-party apps and malware.

Many laptops now have such an option in the BIOS to turn off those devices.

I don’t know if that’s a more or less robust solution, but it does exist already for some laptops.

I guess that’s more of a upstream Gnome suggestion. You could post the idea as a bug on Gitlab. https://gitlab.gnome.org/explore/groups
