This product makes me worried.

I‘m afraid that putting a teleconferencing app on a separate device will make it easier to add distracting or privacy invading features.

I wouldn’t want to keep this thing always on and let anyone connect anytime.

I certainly wouldn’t trust the webcam or microphone indicator, if one exists, to be truthful, vs a hardware switch or an Apple product (who doesn’t have skin in the game).
