Pressing the video mute button doesn't turn off the camera

...which is scary and wastes power.

By doesn't turn off camera you mean the light next to your webcam?

[ara4n]

both the light & the camera device itself :)

[SimonBrandner]

Sorry, what I meant is: do you and the other side still see the video from the camera?

[ara4n]

The other side cannot see the video, but the camera is powered on and the green LED is on, which is scary. I can repro every time i hit the video mute button.

This is probably also due to https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=642785

That sounds like it only talks about the light - not the camera actually recording

I don't think it's a browser bug, as Jitsi doesn't do this in the same browser/machine.

I just hit the same issue. It looks like the mic indicator on macOs is also shown when muted.

Per @kegsay's comment this needs re-investigation
