- techntoke 6y agoWell for music, people may want to continue listening to music when their phones are off or the app is in the background. For video I agree it doesn't make much sense, but in a web app world if you're recording video you may want to turn off the screen or do other things just like a computer. It should at least show you in the notification area.
- disiplus 6y agoi can think a scenario where the phone is acting as a sort of security camera. or you are using it as a replacement for web cam when you stream from your pc. etc. but i agree most of those are edge cases.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoIt's not as much of an edge case; spare (particularly, old) phones and tablets are used as DIY home security systems, baby monitors, etc.
- AnthonyMouse 6y agoAnd even edge cases should be supported. Maybe the default in Firefox should be to disable the camera when you lock your phone, but then it should have a setting to do otherwise, and it certainly shouldn't be rendered impossible by the OS (rather than, say, having a separate permission).
- jhoechtl 6y agoHeck even for video. Google is hammering youtube pro down my throat for the benefit of continuing pkaying while backgrounded
- kllrnohj 6y agoAccidentally bumping the power button shouldn't kill a video I'm taking or a video conference I'm in. The OS should block new uses of the camera if it's locked (sort of - face unlock obviously needs an exception), but killing existing ones seems rather aggressive and would create a new form of user hostility in relatively common situations.
