Hi,
Yes currently we dispatch the status event from the statushandler function in webcampublisher only when you start the camera.
For getting this event always, you can either override this function and dispatch the event always or modify it in your source afcs code in case you are linking the source directly. I will take a look into whether we should send it always and if so, we will have it that way in next drop.
Thanks
