Hi @Deaffish,
indeed on Fairphone 2 with the 12MP rear camera module charging the phone while the camera is in use won’t work. This is definitely an unfortunate problem for video calls, caused by a power conflict between the camera flash led and the PMIC.
For your use case you should be able to replace the 12MP rear camera with the 8MP rear camera (you can normally get that module for free or for cheap in the forum buy/sell section). With that module charging should work as expected while the camera is on. I know it’s not a great solution but I hope it works for you.
