Geez people this isn’t a movie set with real camera men or directors. Since you are aware of that or may just learnt that be grateful that you get a live view of the situation. If you don’t want to be bothered don’t open the app or just delete it. The amateur camera men are not looking to win Emmys off their recordings.
