标题: How to disable laptop webcam and microphone on Windows 10
[img src="/storage/emulated/0/Download/Macbook_Air_with_Nope_2.0_webcam_privacy_blue_grande.jpeg"][br][br]Most laptops today come with a built-in webcam — some with a standard camera used for Skype and other web-conferencing, some with IR cameras for Windows Hello facial recognition. And pretty much all laptops also come with a built-in microphone to be used in conjunction with the camera.[br][br]If you're someone who never uses their camera or microphone on their laptop, you might be wondering how to disable them. Why? Some malware can take control of the hardware and let it work even when you aren't using it. Even if you're just concerned with your ever-eroding privacy, these steps will show you how to disable the built-in webcam and microphone on your Windows 10 laptop.[br][br]How to disable your webcam[br][br]The process of disabling your webcam through Device Manager involves a small number of steps.[br][br][ul][li]Right-click the Start button.[br][/li][/ul][ul][li]Click Device Manager.[br][/li][/ul][img src="/storage/emulated/0/Download/disable-webcam-dm-01.jpeg"][br][ul][li]Click the dropdown arrow next to Imaging devices.[br][/li][/ul][ul][li]Right-click Integrated Camera — note that this could change depending on the hardware in your laptop.[br][/li][/ul][img src="/storage/emulated/0/Download/disable-webcam-dm-02.jpeg"][br][ul][li]Click Disable.[br][/li][/ul][ul][li]Click Yes.[br][/li][/ul][img src="/storage/emulated/0/Download/disable-webcam-dm-03.jpeg"][br][br]If you'd like to enable your webcam, just run through the steps again, but this time click Enable instead of Disable.[br][br]Note:[br][br]Disabling your webcam and microphone using the Device Manager is the quickest way to do things, but it isn't entirely secure — advanced malware that targets your devices can turn them back on without your consent.[br][br]So kindly check ur device for malware regularly.[br][br]How to disable your microphone[br][br]Disabling the microphone in your PC follows almost the same steps as disabling your camera.[br][br][ul][li]Right-click the Start button.[br][/li][/ul][ul][li]Click Device Manager.[br][/li][/ul][ul][li]Click the dropdown arrow next to Audio inputs and outputs.[br][/li][/ul][ul][li]Right-click Internal Microphone — this label can change depending on the hardware you have in your PC.[br][/li][/ul][img src="/storage/emulated/0/Download/disable-mic-dm-02.jpeg"][br][ul][li]Click Disable.[br][/li][/ul][ul][li]Click Yes.[br][/li][/ul][img src="/storage/emulated/0/Download/disable-mic-dm-03.jpeg"][br][br]To enable your microphone, just follow the same steps, but click Enable instead of Disable.[br][br]Another simple solution for webcam is to use sticky notes or electrical tape as a cheap and immediately-available cover.[br][br]Source: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-disable-your-laptops-webcam-and-microphone%3famp
