Well, not in Debian 11 (bullseye), but this is now the intent with
the current version in Debian/unstable, and I wasn't aware of this
(no announce in Debian's NEWS file).
BTW, this blocking does not work for the audio input. I've just
reported a bug: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/4565
And in Debian:

Well, that's a regression, because the default profile was regarded
as allowed to be access devices in the recent past. This is no longer
the case. But shouldn't such an important change (as intentional) be
announced?

I can just add the --ignore=novideo option.
