The expected behavior is that the (back) camera only gets disabled, but the Webcam (front) is still enabled. This would be beneficial as some videoconferencing solutions (Google Duo/Meet) struggle to switch between the cameras.

It's a child device so not possible (same way disabling the accelerometer will knock out the touchscreen)
