Yeah I have duct tape over mine. I never thought I'd be one of those guys, but once I read somewhere about a website full of galleries of webcams, I was like nope that's it for me.

I mean a better way to protect yourself is to have good virus protection to begin with either program, or knowledge to stay away from shady sites. Tape isn't going to stop whatever built in mic the laptop has as well, so someone could still upload your day to day noises.

Our teamviewer software can call up any webcam in the company with just a few clicks. You best be covering them.

I mean I'm not going to those sites, I'm just saying mine could've potentially been up somewhere.

Idgaf about noises, it's either video games, TV, or deeding.

there's definitely sites out there you can pay to watch hacked webcams. idk why people do as I imagine most of the time the shit is pretty boring. But it exists. I guess there's a good deal of people who leave their laptop open in their room so you can catch them changing and everything but still idk why you'd pay for that when porn is free.

I heard about some remote webcam that had a default password like 'password', that a lot of folks never bother to change. Assholes then connected to them, started up a stream complete with chat and spied on people. Mostly girls of course.

So after hearing about that, the school that spied on their students, and the Vault 7 documents. I do put tape over my phone and tablet, sometimes. It doesn't seem all that crazy.

I put tape over everything, even my phone cameras. You don't necessarily have to be targeted by a hacker, it could just be some rogue application that wants to gather and sell your biometric data.

No, because the camera on my computer is broken. Otherwise, I probably would cover it.

Some Mac books have it to where you cant cover the camera

Nope. Mine has a very noticable light next to it when it's recording, so I'd notice. And I really wouldn't be that worried in the first place anyway.

I doubt it. It's not seperately software-controlled, it's part of the camera itself.

But again, I really wouldn't care that much anyway.

those lights can be disabled and will not alert you if someone is accessing your webcam. Either way it doesn't bother me so I dont cover it

Oh so it's really cool, my wife puts a little piece of sticky paper over the webcam but then my cat jumps up on her lap and pulls it off so she has to replace it.

But yes we do >_>.

I have a proper separate webcam - not that I've had much use for it. >->

Either way, the shitty webcam on my laptop will literally never be used. the frame is black, and a small square of black duct tape helps make the border a bit more aesthetically pleasing as well - it just melds with what's around it.

Why stop at your laptop camera? Might as well tape up the selfie camera on your phone.
