**Description**  
I am utilizing NextJS to display an image in a user’s camera. I have been informed by a teammate of mine that the camera context cannot be utilized due to the warning page that arises from lacking (or having an invalid) certificate. I have two buttons in the sidebar to call each of the above methods, with a return for a NextJS image when the runningcontext is set to inCamera.

**Error?**  
No errors display in the visual studio console, nor in the inspector.

**How To Reproduce**  
Utilize an an invalid/not validated SSL certificate for the app. Resulting in the ‘Your connection is not private’ warning page.
