How is this even allowed to happen? I get it that sometimes there can be bugs (like [screen-sharing not working](https://community.brave.app/t/screensharing-not-working/417982), still flaky to this day), but this is a huge privacy violation as the OP said. I had the same thing happen to me the other day during an important meeting and it was very shocking to me.
