If you have multiple webcams, but one is deactivated, the camera may still show up in the browser, but trying to use it will result in an error. That's expected. Unfortunately, Studio will fail if the default camera results in an error with no option to select another webcam. This makes it near impossible to use Studio since you cannot select another camera.

If there are multiple cameras and an error occurs if one is selected, Studio should show the device selection and allow users to select another webcam.

Btb. a workaround is to remove the camera access permissions for Studio which will cause the device selector in Firefox to show up, where you can select another device. But that's not something you can have a non-technical user do.
