Maybe my Mac is set to be paranoid, but can you share video without being asked to give the mic and camera permission to operate? I chat with jitsi all the time and have to give jitsi explicit permission to use the mic/camera each time.

yes it's a browser setting to "remember mic/camera permission for given site"

to which extend this "remember" is there by default, can be disabled through system config/MDA etc. is probably very

lastly iff that is a default for Safari on Mac I wouldn't be surprised if that was not only placed their to protect your safety but to annoy you and push you to use Mac, it would fit into a sad list of similar things done by Apple to push people to go through their app store. But then more safe is still more better for many users.

> is probably very [????]

... browser specific

not sure where that words disappeared, too

If you’re using jitsi already, won’t you have already given those permissions?
Probably 99% of people clicks "yes, always"
I click and tap "Only this time" on Android and in browsers.
