Computer camera activates when lauching Dorico

I am brand new to Dorico and can’t figure out why my computer camera activates when I launch Dorico. I haven’t found a solution or reason yet. Thank you for any advice or wisdom on why this is the case.

My first thought is - what OS are you using?

Thank you for reaching out. Windows 11

I’ve noticed this as well – on Windows 11, but only on my desktop with an external webcam, not on my laptop with an integrated webcam. I assumed it had something to do with Dorico recognizing the microphone on the webcam as an audio input device.

Yes, this is on my desktop camera. It didn’t occur to me that it might be doubling as an audio input. The fact that the camera is on is a bit off-putting, though. I’m currently covering it up with a small cloth. I would like to be able to Find a way to deactivate it in Settings or somewhere while working in Dorico.
