IMPORTANT: DM turning video on/off/logging in resets other players video/mic

My DM and I figured out by accident that as of today that when the DM turns on/off their video or joins/reconnects it will turn on other players video and mic. It happens every time they do it so is repeatable. This should be fixed ASAP as it could be exploited very easily.

Even if the players have explicitly turned off video and voice? It flips those to options (broadcast and receive) on?
If they've turned it off in the settings, then no.  It doesn't toggle it back on. But if they've muted themselves/hidden their video by pressing the buttons on their avatar, then those gets forcibly reset, and their video/audio starts broadcasting again should the GM decide to hit the reconnect button. If someone wants to temporarily hide their video from the group for whatever reason, I shouldn't be able to just turn it back on for them.  This needs to be fixed.

I think the intent there is for whispering to another player or other very temporary change, but I can see how it might be an issue at some tables. I'll see what I can do to shine light on it, but a report to the  Help Center  would actually generate a ticket for further investigation.
Thank you! I have submitted a report 
Thank you for the report! We have a fix for it in QA now.
