Can Windows Hello IR camera be used for developmental purpose?

I have Windows Hello camera. This camera has both RGB and IR camera on it. I can access IR camera for the face recognition system on windows 10. But for developmental purposes, I am unable to use the IR camera. Everytime I call the camera using Python or any other app, only the RGB camera gets enabled. Kindly help me in this regard. It would be great if someone could kindly share a python or matlab (or any other) programming snippet to capture IR video from Windows Hello camera.

It is likely that Microsoft has locked down access to the IR camera for security, but I know some other people who have tried. From what I've been able to find, it seems like this was once possible on Windows 10 (with no recent news on Windows 11). Check out some prior attempts here and here
