Upwork rules require you to have their desktop app installed and let yourself be filmed for the duration of the task? Holy s

  UpWork doesn't do filming using your camera, only takes a picture every ~10 minutes. Also the picture taking is optional and can be disabled by client (Throughout 1 year working on UpWork I never had a project which required of me the camera bit). The screenshot taking is required for payment protection.

    > UpWork doesn't do filming using your camera, only takes a picture every ~10 minutes. And how can I, the person being filmed, verify that?

      Probably notice that your webcam light comes on only once every ten minutes, or that your network traffic is consistent with one picture every ten minutes. Isn't this site for nerds?

      You can see the work log online that contains all the screenshots and most probably camera shots too (never had to use it so I'm not 100% sure). I think the way to know that your camera is on is to look at the little LED next to your camera and hoping UpWork didn't find a way around it.

      Get a camera where the activity LED turns on when camera is active.
