Left most looks like cat5/6 Ethernet cable but hard to tell from pic. If there's multiple tiny, colored wires, solid and a striped, it's that. Next one is RG-59 coax. Others look like speaker wire of some sort but I'd test with a multimeter to be sure they aren't live

Edit: RG-6 to RG-59. Hard to tell from pic though

I agree with your logic but when I reinstalled the app to see if I did allow camera access, the only prompt that came up is to request permission to send notifications.

Then again, it was logged in with a Google account so maybe it has something to do with the account permissions? I'll be able to investigate that later tonight to be sure but even after logging out and a fresh download, it still prompted for only notifications.

Regarding the glossy screen, it was displaying from the rear facing camera. I apologize for not mentioning that in my post but I'll update it to reflect that.

Edit: typed front facing instead of rear facing

I've not seen this before but it was strange.

An ad loaded at the end of a video, so I paused it. What caught my eye was the background was moving when I moved my phone, which turned out to be the room I was in. The ad was overlayed on whatever my camera was looking at, but the ad appeared stretched from a single point in the middle of the screen, which was even weirder.

Edit: The ad was using the rear camera, not the front facing one.

I've looked through my phones settings and there are no options to toggle YouTube's camera access either, so I feel like it's safe to say this is being forced on users (surprise /s).

Needless to say, that app is no longer on any of my devices :)

The router may have log files pertinent to the investigation. It may be basic information unless it was setup otherwise but it's more information that can help lead to a conviction (hah) and possibly a slap on the wrists followed by a stern finger wagging.
