    If I understand correctly pipwire is supposed to be the “portal” but for audio and videos.

    But I believe camera portal is already there, using pipwire. All they need to add is a popup to request usage when the app needs it.

      XDG portals is the standard interface that applications (should) use to do things on your system. It is most commonly associated with flatpaks and Wayland.

      You could have pipewire as the back end but XDG portal implementation usually is controlled by the desktop.
