The webcams on my desktop, laptop, and tablet all have little bits of electrical tape over them. Easy enough to remove if I decided I wanted them for something.
I not only use tape but I’ve also disabled the camera software too for good measure. If I ever need it, I just remove the tape and click “enable” in Device Manager to turn it back on.
For privacy reasons; I go out of my way to find computers that do not have built-in webcams/microphones. With desktops, that’s easy. With laptops, not as easy, but they’re out there.

Even my iMac has a built-in webcam; never bothered to use it.

Well, that shiny little circle at the top of the laptop’s screen wasn’t there for looks, Jon…

Whoa. It’s a flashback to the old paranoiac fantasy that people could watch you through your TV set.
It’d be pretty boring to watch me from my computer. All they’d see is a guy who needs to shave, drinking caffeine and reading the comics.

I’ll bet this would make an interesting Garfield Minus Garfield comic.

I have a webcam built into my laptop but I barely use it, I’ve only used it a few times on Skype.
So I can safely say my everyday life will not end up on Youtube.

I’m pretty sure that publishing someone’s video to the web without their consent can’t be technically legal.
