What is the difference between "view your webcam" and "webcam invite"?

Hi,

I wonder what the difference between "view your webcam" and "webcam
invite" are. Do they mean "view your webcam (but not necessarily allow
you to view theirs)" and "invite you to view their webcam (but not
necessarily ask you allow them to view yours)", or do they mean
something else?

cheers,

My guess is that a request to "view your webcam" is when someone else
wants to view your webcam, and a "webcam invite" is the opposite, i.e.
someone wants you to view their webcam.

Masca (or anyone), can you clarify?

Would it be more clear if we changed that string from
"%s has sent you a webcam invite, which is not yet supported."
to
"%s invited you to view their webcam, but this is not yet supported."

I'm happy to make the change if someone can confirm that it is correct.
