    Skype (MS Store) app requires Desktop app camera permission


    The title really says it all. I've found that to get the camera working in the Skype app (downloaded from MS Store), I need to enable camera access (under Settings, Privacy, Camera) both as an MS Store app and allow general desktop app access.

    By way of contrast, the microphone works fine with just MS Store app permission for Skype.

    Can anyone shed any light on why this might be? Surely it should not need Desktop app access for the camera?

    It's a Dell Inspiron 3580 lappie running Win10x64 1909 (all up to date)
