Firmware is essentially the software that controls the smartwatch's hardware components, managing everything from the user interface to the device's connectivity and sensor data. It's the bridge between the user and the device, allowing you to interact with the watch and access various features.

    Thanks for this.

    This gives me a “Start virtual camera” button. When I click it I am prompted to enter my password. And that’s it. Nothing changes. I still have a “Start virtual camera” button, no stop button. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
