Hey, thanks for the report. It looks like the integrated browser in Cursor 2.0 has limits with media device permissions - it currently doesn’t support microphone/camera access prompts.

I’ll pass this to the team for investigation.

Hey! This was intended; in the future, we may change this, but it was intended to limit possible effects of prompt injection.
