Webcam pod in Host & Presenter area no longer accessible to Presenters

A trick I have used often to be able to go from a layout without a webcam pod (eg 'Lobby') to a layout with the webcam pod to start the session is to open the webcam pod in the Host & Presenter Area (formerly known as the POA), have the presenters start and pause their webcam, and then hide the webcam on the 'main stage' under another pod. This allows the webcam stream to continue so that when the 'show' starts, the presenters do not have to re-launch their webcam. It worked brilliantly. Until now :(

When webcam pod is in Host & Presenter Area, presenter roles are unable to launch their webcam, even from the pod options. It would be great to have that back, as it was VERY useful. Even if just to get presenters used to starting/pausing/stopping their webcam privately 'backstage'.

Please, can we have that back??
