Modern day laptops come with integrated webcams. And they\u2019re amazing, aren\u2019t they? They make videos calling so much easier. There\u2019s no need to attach a separate webcam to talk to your distant friends \u2013 there\u2019s one right there on top of your screen!<\/p>\n
And while it\u2019s really cool to have a webcam so handy, the problem is that webcams can be hacked to spy on you. While you read this on the internet, someone on the internet might be reading you.<\/p>\n
Many webcams come with small lights that light up when the camera is in use. So you can know if someone is monitoring you. But if someone has the right tools to hack into your camera, they can easily turn that light off as well.<\/p>\n
This is why it\u2019s very important to secure your camera. Here are some ways to do it. These small devices are available on Amazon and will cover up the camera lens. Most of them can slide to the side to let you use the camera when you want.<\/p>\n

\nJust cover it up<\/strong>
\nThis is the simplest solution. Just apply some tape over your camera. When you want to use the camera, peel the tape off and then replace it later. But if you\u2019re a little more sophisticated than me, you can go for a camera cover.<\/p>\n
