How to Disable Integrated Camera or Webcam in Windows 10 [Tutorial]

In Windows 10, having a camera as part of your device or system lets you make Skype video calls, take pictures, etc. Many apps and services request and use the camera, and Windows settings give you control over which apps can use your camera.

Some people worry about unknown apps, organizations, or malware using their camera. Whenever your camera is used, you should be in charge. That’s why you’re always told when your camera is turned on:

If your device or camera comes with a camera light, the light will turn on when the camera is in use.

If your system doesn’t have a camera light, you’ll get a notification to let you know when the camera turns on or off.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba,Lenovo, and Samsung).

I do not have the "Camera" section in Device Manager for some reason, like yours. Why does it not show up for me?

Hi there! This might be a silly question but because I am new to everything I’ll ask, lol... don’t I need the windows 10 camera enabled if I make a video? I have an external camera supplied to me by my university, and that’s what I would use when I’m ready to upload my videos. Can I still use it if I disable the Windows 10 camera? Thank you for your informative tutorials, they are very helpful...Cheers!
