:gnome: Awesome news: shell will be getting a 📹 webcam activity indicator next to the clock to show when an application is recording.

@downey@floss.social why not next to the screen recording indicator? :02think:

@julia Well, I guess it's all still right there in the same area. The details would be based on how your shell is tweaked & configured for the layout.

@downey I'd rather have one for the microphone (they may be doing that too? I don't know) because I have a physical shutter on my webcam (and give out stick-on ones to friends when I see that they don't).

@mikebabcock i need to go back and watch the video because i came in halfway through the slide. I think they were saying it was gonna be using the pipewire api, so seems reasonably possible to extend to mic also.
