Because who doesn't have a lid/sticker over their webcam yet?
I have also kill-switched the built-in mic in the BIOS set-up but I'm not sure how secure this is. I would prefer there to be no built-in microphones in any hardware (except phones) at all. Sadly every modern laptop is equipped with a mic.
- dsr_ 5y agoMost mics have mediocre sensitivity. Stick a blob of blu-tack or similar cohesive putty on it, take it off when you want to use the mic. Test by making recordings -- some machines have two or three mics.
- cuu508 5y agoThat's one plus point for desktops and nettops with no-frills motherboards. No mic, no speakers, no bluetooth, no wifi.
