1. A method, comprising:
- receiving image data at a camera element that is provisioned at a first endpoint, which is configured to conduct a video session involving a second endpoint;
identifying an incoming request for the video session;
upon identifying the incoming request for the video session, signaling to the camera element to open a lens included within the camera element;
detecting that the video session has been terminated; and
upon detecting that the video session has been terminated, signaling to the camera element to close the lens.
