    I turned mine off via the Device Manager because of this. There is a LED that lights up when the camera is in use... but I don't trust it

    2007 seems about right. I have my really old laptop still laying around - a Dell e1405, purchased in 2006 does not have one.

    Seems like you've been watching a lot of conspiracy theories.

    the laptop webcam are use mainly video sharing. A webcam is a video camera that feeds or streams its image in real time to or through a computer to computer network
