The setting typically pop-up when streamer failed to access the camera. This is generally due to the camera being used by another application like Teams/Zoom/Skype/Google Meet, etc… Do you see a red square in place of the camera?

Hi @peli,  
For the #streamer, is it possible to add an option to choose the Pen size. It would be great to have atleast 1 size smaller than the current (lets say the Laser Pointer size is perfect) and If it could grab any pointer/stylus devices. I am planning to use a drawing tablet to write on the screen while I explain some topics and would love to be able do some writings using a finer tip.  
Warm regards  
MINT Genie

Hi  
How can I use streamer with micro:bit classroom?  
Adding other URLs doesn’t seem to do anything?  
Thanks  
Nic

What kind of error do you get? It seems that adding classroom [micro:bit classroom](https://classroom.microbit.org/) works

Since I really do not want to show my face or share my voice (for privacy concerns), I would think some people would benefit from this.

@Agent_14 not sure how much work since it was built around the idea that the face was visible at all times.
