We are using CameraDeviceMonitor from Cheese to catch the event when webcam device is plugged or unplugged.
But it adds a burden to Flatpak building task. We don't use the whole Cheese app, but only a part of its library. While making deb package, it is just as easy as adding "gir1.2-cheese-3.0" to dependencies list, it is not the same when building Flatpak, we have to guide flatpak-builder to build Cheese from source.
So, it is better to implement "device monitor" from plain GStreamer and drop Cheese.
