If he is anything like Robert DeNiro in "Meet the Parents," then I wouldn't recommend participating in any of the WOWYHI threads.

Always. I use a bright colored dot sticker to remind me if it’s there or not. Besides hacking, it’s useful for video conferencing. Open video is the new open mic. It’s one thing for everyone to hear your dog backing in the background, but having a few hundred people watch you intensely pick your nose and examine the gold is a reason to polish up your resume.

We don't have cameras at work. And I don't have one at home. Never saw the point in them.

This. And my laptop's microphones are on either side of the camera lens, so I cover them all with the same piece of electrical tape.

What is so concerning about someone looking at you through your web camera that is more concerning that someone actually in your computer stealing your shite?

be like Zuck and cover your webcam and microphone with tape,

Be like Snowden, take out the mics and plug in headphones with a built in mic....problem solved. I have done it to every phone I have owned also.

My paranoid pothead friend does this. That tells you all you need to know.

Plus, I sign onto my computer with my face anyway

I always thought that was being a little too paranoid until I watched the movie Snowden, but even then I haven't covered my computer's web camera up yet.

I do. I also change the settings until I need to use the camera and microphone. Do it to my iPhone as well.

And I used to work at a certain agency in my former career.
