the floating mic and camera on/off menu keeps turning it self back on/making itself visible after each restart.

That is already tracked (and fixed) https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/6374
The fix will be available in 0.24

No difference relative to what?

Flyout is not floatable

we are already tracking the request to make the toolbar movable in https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/6374

Camera isn't working at all when 0.22.0 is installed

We are aware of incompatibilities with some cameras, if you are using a USB camera what brand/model, if you are using a laptop, what laptop brand/model?

I have video conferencing turned off and do not see the floating mic/camera toggles. My computer restarts and the floating camera/mic toggles are on again.

I then go into the settings -> video conference -> and turn video conference on and off again and the floating mic/camera menu goes away.

I have to do this every time my computer restarts... but i love the windows snapping/docking so I tolerate this behavior.

Turning on/off does not do any difference, the toolbar still persists and prevents my camera from working at all.

Seems to work finde with the MIC

I’m using a Lenovo YOGA with integrated camera
