Can people see my cam without me knowing it?
When I have on the webcam on messenger, I know that people can have programs that let them know that my cam is on, even if it doesnt show as online on messenger.
What I want to know is if they can sneak on to my cam, without me knowing and without me accepting it.
thanks..
I know I can turn off the cam.. that isnt the problem.. it is when I have it on of course that I wonder if someone might be watching who shouldnt

Yes, they can.....my daughter's friends brag about being able to hack online and steal the show and get paid for it by sending it in to a place that shows them on the internet. Be careful and unplug it when you don't use it.....!!!!

I purely target my cam in the route of the wall purely in case this ever takes position ;-)

I'm sure there is but I'm not sure how to do it. If thats such a problem disconnect your webcam when not in use and watch what you show on it. If I put my mind to it I might be able to but probably wouldn't do.

Yep. And by the way, you are looking faboulous today!!! Jk, nope, they can't. If it really bothers you, disconnect it while you aren't using it!

no! when they press your web cam button, it alerts you, kinda says "whoever would like to see your webcam" then is gives you an option to accept or to decline.
