    Turning it off is zero guarantee. Get a physical cover for the camera. If you can’t get a physical cover, then put electrical tape over it.

      After I had turned off the webcam in my system settings, my boss twice commented on the shirt I was wearing while WFH. So then I glued two layers of duct tape over the entire upper rim of the laptop, and it never happened again. They did, however, seem inexplicably distraught when we had the next Teams call.

      Yeah, drivers are easy to reinstall.

      IMHO this is/was a total shit show by the school district. The student intern knew better; hope they are in charge now!

      I want to but I made the mistake of buying a phone that uses the camera as the light sensor…
