Description: I want to turn the webcam recording on or off as i please while recording, so i use the option to turn the webcam on/off (screenshot attached), but this function isn't work. The recording starts with the webcam on, but when i press the assigned hotkey, it dosn't turn off! I can see on my Action RCU that the hotkey is working since it shows me the webcam preview dissapear, but action keep recording anyway, as i see later on the finish footage. This used to work fine on later versions. I using the latest webcam drivers (logitech C270), and as far i can remember, action webcam preview used to turn black and white when the webcam was not recording, it dosn't happen anymore. Any tips?

The option that i'm using:

Hello, looks like when Time-Shift is enabled, webcam works in "Always record" mode.
