Does this mean they will be able to activate the camera from the video call function? That wouldn't be as private now would it...
Considering the original design idea for the suite was that people would call the galley with food orders, and that literally no one does so, I’d say crew will be along in person as usual

As for crew visibility, the requirement is access - the suites can be opened from the outside - otherwise EY would have had problems with their configs!
