You should bother taping over cameras you're not using though. It's way too easy to hijack them and keep the light from turning on when you do.

- jonknee 9y agoDo you really put tape on your phone?
- freehunter 9y agoI use my phone's camera, so no.
- ComputerGuru 9y agoAs of now, I don’t believe any OS’s AV framework allows for multiple video sinks with the default stack and drivers; ie if you are able to use the camera in an app, it can be taken as a sign that no other app is using it at the same time. Which can be a source of some consolation/reassurance.
- mortenjorck 9y agoThe way I look at it, if someone has hijacked my MacBook Pro's camera to the degree that they can turn off the light, my entire computer has been rooted and I have far bigger problems than someone seeing me in a towel. As for IoT cameras, though, it's the opposite. I assume all of them have already been pwned, so I never buy them in the first place.
