This is the future of using windows 10. One of the Privacy options is to turn off the option to allow apps access to the camera! It is ON by default!

I do not think it is ever OFF and some hacker will be able to turn it ON.

So keep your clothes on when using your pc!

A little piece of tape over the lens will stop that.

>>A little piece of tape over the lens will stop that.

Why would someone buy an IP camera (nanny cam, porch cam, various house cams, etc) and then put tape over the lens?

Electrical tape for the camera lens.

Do the same for the mike, but add some extra under the tape to muffle the sound

Cut out the bandage part of a bandaid and put that over the lens to protect if from glue and then cover it all with black tape. But it still doesn’t hurt to wave good morning to your NSA dude.

My TV automatically connects to my phone when I walk past it.

I did not ask for that.

Not a bug: a feature.
