Microsoft has recently rolled out a notable enhancement to Windows 11: the system now permits two or more applications to access the camera concurrently. This marks a departure from the previous constraint, which restricted camera access to just one application at any given time. The update introducing this change is part of the optional Windows 11 KB5089573 update, released in May 2026, and is set to be distributed to all users during the Patch Tuesday update in June 2026.
