Is there any reason the camera could not work in multiple applications
simultaneously?

Title:
  Stop and restart the camera automatically when app changes active
  state

Status in Canonical System Image:
  New
Status in qtubuntu-camera package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  At the moment when an application that started the camera stops
  becoming active, the camera remains running and other applications
  can't use it.

  The system should automatically detect when an app is being deactivate
  and stop the camera, as a minimum.

  To be symmetric, when the app gets activated again, it should also
  restart it. However this might not be as simple since the camera might
  have been re-configured by other apps so if we want the process to be
  full automatic the state of the camera configuration should be saved
  and restored as well.
