It was the screen shot thing that surprised me. Had no idea that was possible.

OBS has a feature for that.

Because if a website asks me to use my webcam I assume it's going to use my webcam. Why is it surprising that it's recording video?

It's fine if I actually want them to use the camera. In this case, they're using their leverage to force me to allow access to the camera in order to spy on me for the benefit of third parties.
