Auto-connect request: viber (camera, audio-record)

Hello,

We would like to kindly request auto-connect approval for the following interfaces for our snap viber:

camera audio-record

About the snap:

Viber is a messaging and calling application used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Camera and microphone access are essential for its core functionality — video calls, voice calls, and voice messages. Without auto-connect, users must manually run snap connect commands before these features work, which creates a confusing first-run experience.

Details:

Snap name: viber Store URL: https://snapcraft.io/viber Publisher: Viber Media S.à r.l. Account ID: J8cnYoa6fCakHoOqHcrpmMMIMfvm6vGN Current channel: stable (revision 1) Website: https://www.viber.com

Justification:

Both interfaces are directly tied to the app’s primary use case (communication). The app cannot function fully as a communication tool without microphone and camera access.

We would be happy to provide any additional information needed for the review.

Thank you for your time!

Hi @Viber team,

Given the functionality of the snap, it makes sense for the application to able to auto-connect to both camera and audio-record interfaces. +1 (#voteFor) for granting the requested auto-connections.
