Research direction
Start by reproducing the call scenario: disable the camera with the mouse, then hold and release the spacebar for push-to-talk. Trace the spacebar push-to-talk and camera-toggle handlers, then verify that releasing the key changes only the microphone state and does not reenable the camera.
