Hide webcam in thumbnails
The video extension is pretty cool but for some reason, it displays your video in the thumbnail if you have your video on which can lead to a bunch of children getting their faces leaked without them knowing. Maybe as an alternative by replacing the video with a fake image in the thumbnail to keep them anonymous but that may confuse scratchers.

Or maybe disable the video extension before creating the thumbnail? Maybe as an alternative by replacing the video with a fake image in the thumbnail to keep them anonymous but that may confuse scratchers.
Support, this is definitely an issue

A potential issue is i believe Scratch saves the thumbnail as a bitmap image, so they would need to hide it before saving the image.

Wait, this is an actual issue?! I definitely support then for very obvious reasons (though there could be better ways of implementing this…)

Support. This would really help when making a thumbnail for a Project that uses the video extension so that users don't accidentally set the project's thumbnail as a screenshot of their face from the video extension

Makes sense, maybe they could make it so that when saving a project, if the webcam is currently on, it would instead save the thumbnail as the default scratch cat thumbnail, or not change the thumbnail from the previous

bump, I hope this gets added. There a couple examples for example some remixes where the orginal project is a camera based project.
