I have recently moved to Stream Master out of necessity since the Lovense browser is being discontinued. I only want to use it for the bare minimum of connecting the Lovense toys to the cam site while streaming as I did in the Lovense browser, but Stream Master is an invasive and disruptive piece of software, and this should be addressed.

For a start, it forces OBS to enable the virtual camera, which I don't want, and can't disable. I had to uninstall this feature in OBS to stop this from happening. When I opened the Stream Master browser mid stream, it forced OBS to stop recording my stream and destroyed my vod of the show. This browser should have zero access to OBS if I don't allow it, and this made migration much more of a headache than it should have been.

The scariest part is that Windows is telling me the software is accessing my cam, which again I don't want to allow, since I am not streaming with it, and don't want it to have access to that. I have tried disabling camera access entirely in Windows, but the software appears to bypass this. I have gone into the browser settings and told it to not allow access to the camera, but if I go to the lovense extension's settings, camera and microphone access are allowed, and cannot be disabled, they are forced on.

I don't ever want to use this software to replace or interact with OBS in any way, I am only using this browser to connect a toy because it will be the only way to do so, and it is kind of scary how this software interacts with the rest of the PC, and I think there needs to be an option to properly disable this entire feature of the browser for the sake of security. For people who are already experienced with streaming, this attempt at an all in one solution does not make the job easier, it has done the opposite.
