Someone with malicious intent could compromise your computer, remotely activate your webcam, and spy on you without your knowledge. So if you care about your privacy, it would be best to disable your webcam when you’re not using it. That is something you can very, very easily do with Sordum’s free and portable WebCam On-Off. With a simple mouse click you can enable/disable your webcam.

WebCam On-Off is a portable application. You don’t have to install it. To start using it you must download an archive, extract it contents, and run the WebCam executable file. It must be mentioned here that WebCam On-Off provides support for 32- and 64-bit Windows editions, any edition from Windows XP onward.

There are two icons at the top on the application’s interface. The one that looks like a toolbox opens the Device Manager. The one that looks like an ID card opens the About menu.

There are three buttons on the left hand side on the application’s interface. Enable enables the webcam, Disable disables the webcam, and Webcam lets you preview footage from your webcam – it lets you see what your webcam sees. Please note that the Disable function does not work if the webcam is in use; you must close the webcam screen and then use the Disable function.

You webcam (or webcams) is listed on the main panel on the application’s interface. Green text is used if your webcam is enabled, red text is used if your webcam is disabled.

WebCam On-Off si freeware. If you find it useful, show your support and give Sordum a donation.

WebCam On-Off works as advertised: it provides a simple and efficient means of enabling/disabling the webcam. On top of that, it lets you see what your webcam sees.

Pros

WebCam On-Off is a portable application that does not have to be installed; it supports any Windows edition from XP onward. The interface is very, very simple. Click a button to disable the webcam; click a button to enable the webcam. WebCam On-Off works as a webcam viewer. WebCam On-Off is free software.

Cons

None that I could think of.
