Config:

<Configuration>
  <Networking>Enable</Networking>
  <VGpu>Disable</VGpu>
  <AudioInput>Enable</AudioInput>
  <VideoInput>Enable</VideoInput>
  <ClipboardRedirection>Disable</ClipboardRedirection>
 <ProtectedClient>Disable</ProtectedClient>
</Configuration>

Host:
POLICY

I would expect "RDP" or "Windows Sandbox" to show up in the permissions list for the host os.. but nothing related to windows sandbox is showing up here.

Expected result

Camera should work and be accessible given the following config:

<Configuration>
  <Networking>Enable</Networking>
  <VGpu>Disable</VGpu>
  <AudioInput>Enable</AudioInput>
  <VideoInput>Enable</VideoInput>
  <ClipboardRedirection>Disable</ClipboardRedirection>
 <ProtectedClient>Disable</ProtectedClient>
</Configuration>

Actual result

The camera is disabled with a permission error
