Does "Pause during meetings" work if I quit Storage Studio?
Short answer: Only while the Storage Studio app is running in your menu bar — it's the app that notices your camera or microphone is in use. If you quit it, the background service can't see meetings.
Only while Storage Studio itself is running. Noticing that your camera or microphone is in use is done by the app in your menu bar, which passes that signal on to the background service. If you've quit the app, the background service can't tell you're in a meeting, though your other Smart-mode signals still apply.
Keep Storage Studio open in the menu bar if you rely on meeting detection.
