When you see Mark Zuckerberg covering up his webcam, you know there’s good reason. After all, webcams are the windows into our world for hackers and snoops. And with facial recognition taking off as a security feature, taking control of your webcam is only going to get more important.

If we can’t trust Kaspersky, why should trust some camera guard app?
5x5mm piece of tape over the camera is way much cheaper and 10000000 times more reliable. ;)
There’s still mics.
I can buy a lot of Post-its for fifteen quid and no hacker in the world can get ‘em off.
I’ll never trust it until they open source it…
A small piece of black electrical tape is all you need.
‘Oversight’ is great. Works with camera and microphone. Have used it for the last 6 months
