Needed basic Info on using Webcam on PBP

Glad I could help.
With the unusual privacy switches, it's almost as if we need the keyboard labeled a bit with the extra functions. Sometimes new Pinebook Pros have come from the factory with one or more of the privacy switches engaged. Since the current action behavior is stored in EEPROM on the keyboard controller, it does not mater which OS you use. Or which boot device you use. That's both good, but confusing to new users.
One note about the webcam, it's not a great device. Usable is the best said about it :-). However, for the cost of the Pinebook Pro, it's good enough in my opinion.
