Check Existing Issues

I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.

Verify Feature Scope

I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.

Problem Description

Every time you turn on the Voice mode the selected camera is reset in the call overlay. If you want to show something and ask about it you need to first select the right camera. After stopping the call and turn it back on you need to do it again.

Desired Solution you'd like

The user's last selected camera should be remembered for added convenience.

Something along this line might work?

const savedCameraId = localStorage.getItem('selectedVideoInputDeviceId');
if (savedCameraId) {
    selectedVideoInputDeviceId = savedCameraId;
}

localStorage.setItem('selectedVideoInputDeviceId', e.detail);

Alternatives Considered

No response

Additional Context

Tested in latest stable Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome on Android.
OpenWebUI 0.9.2

🟢 #24315 bug: Voice Mode Custom Prompt toggle always re-enables
Both issues are about Voice Mode UI state not persisting across sessions/restarts. This one concerns a prompt toggle resetting, while #24416 concerns the selected camera resetting; both point to missing persistence for call/voice overlay settings.

🟣 #2995 **enh: call voice input sensitivity **
This is the closest call-feature issue found, but it addresses audio input sensitivity rather than camera selection. It is related only in that it concerns the same voice call overlay component, so it may help locate adjacent code paths.
