How to disable Camera integration (with FFmpeg dependency)?

Configuration
1

I don’t know when it started but for a while I’ve add this error in the logs when Home Assistant loads:

[homeassistant.setup] Setting up camera
[homeassistant.loader] Loaded ffmpeg from homeassistant.components.ffmpeg
[homeassistant.setup] Setting up ffmpeg

   FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'ffmpeg'
[haffmpeg.tools] Error starting FFmpeg.

I haven’t given it that much thought since I’m not using or have installed anything that should need FFmpeg. But today when I tried to silence this error I realized that I appear to have a Camera integration installed by default that from the looks of the error above requires FFmpeg.

I don’t need any Camera integration, and I don’t need or want to install FFmpeg. How can I disable this integration or at least silence this error warning since it’s not applicable for my setup?

Here’s a (closed) related ticket for it:

If you really don’t need it, check if you have a line, inside your configuration.yaml file with

ffmpeg:

If you have it, comment it changing to

ffmpeg:

After some days, if nothing bad happens, you can delete this line

I have the same problem.
I have not any cameras in my installation but I have a camera integration.
Why is it installed and how can I disable this integration?

Well late to the conversation, but I have a “fix” that works for me.

ffmpeg:
  ffmpeg_bin: /usr/bin/true

I don’t have space for ffmpeg and all the dependencies, nor do I have a need for it. Calling /usr/bin/true silences the error message in the logs.
