Hi,
The MediaRecorder element will capture video unless it is explicitly restricted to audio: https://doc.pcibex.net/mediarecorder/
If there is a newMediaRecorder
command in your script that does not explicitly specify "audio"
(ie neither newMediaRecorder("audio")
nor newMediaRecorder("myrecorder", "audio")
) then PennController will determine that you need to capture video and accordingly require access to the participant’s webcam
