Interview Rooms Enhancements

​
🐞Bug Fixes

1️⃣ Issue: Secondary Camera request was auto-triggered after a manually initiated 360° environment check. Solution: Updated the logic so the Secondary Camera auto-triggers only when the 360° environment check is system-initiated, not when requested manually by the interviewer. 2️⃣ Issue: When GrowthBook (GB) was enabled, all Insights tabs (Overview, Transcript, Speaker, etc.) were visible instead of restricting access. Solution: Updated the Insights view to show only the Verification tab along with video playback and hide the Overview, Transcript, and Speaker tabs when GB is enabled.
3️⃣ Issue: Background Effects were not supported for interviewers using Safari and Firefox browsers. Solution: Enabled Background Effects support for interviewers on Safari and Firefox, ensuring a consistent interview experience across browsers.
