Thanks, Gabriel.

I think it should go away -- we should enable straight away once the user
has picked "Enable permissions".

I agree.

It needs some CSS love.  Actually, all of Galene needs some CSS love.

(The current UI was written in a rush, with the aim of having something
acceptable for the start of teaching season during Covid.  I think the
CSS pretty much needs to be rewritten from scratch.)

> - the permissions are requested twice: once when clicking "request permissions" (for mic+camera) and another when clicking "enable" (for camera only). Probably because I didn't check "remember for this site" but still annoying. 

Yeah, I'm not sure how to work around this particular Firefox quirk.
