I haven't a clue, some nonsense about camera permission, all Double Dutch to me. π€
I don't want to join 'WhatsApp' or 'Yoti' to complete the process, and i doubt all the technically challenged in my community do it either!
It was only a few years ago, that we had actually council offices to go to for this kind of thing. Went the same way as the bank branches, lol.

Over the years I've kind of developed the skill to NOT have the desire to knock annoying people into next Thursday.

Lip Reading
I did not know that i could lip read until professor David Moore told me in the 2000s that everyone can Lip Read.
So later when i was watching and UK based film of TV I turned the sound off, and there I was Lip Reading the cast.
I now understand with more information from prof. David Moore that Lip Reading helps me work around my lifelong Auditory Processing Disorder and why i have problems in groups of more than 4 or 5 people

how would you lipread a ventriloquist asking for a friend ποΈ

Don't worry about lip reading them, most likely they will be saying 'bottle of beer' or 'sausages'. πΊπ

A ventriloquist is an entertainer who performs the illusion of speaking or producing sounds without moving their lips, making it appear as though the voice is coming from another source, usually a puppet or "dummy
The definition from google.
So I would avoid such a situation.
I need to see real people talking in their way of talking face to face and one to one.
