May 22, 2014 at 1:30 comment added Jason_L_Bens I don't see any responses here taking note of the fact that the LED on a webcam is intended to indicate that the camera is currently on, and may actually be designed to fail hard. As in, no LED, no camera. This helps prevent people from watching you sleep if the laptop is left open, for example.

May 21, 2014 at 20:24 comment added Robert Harvey How many Electrical Engineers does it take to disable an LED?
May 21, 2014 at 18:43 comment added Wavy Crab Another idea would be to replace the LED with a non light emitting diode (i.e. regular diode) that has the same electrical properties (forward current voltage, resistance, etc)
May 21, 2014 at 18:08 comment added Adam Davis @WayfaringStranger That would certainly work, but I suppose that aluminum foil and tape are more commonly found in the average household than black nail polish, electrical tape, or a number of other possible solutions.
May 21, 2014 at 17:58 comment added Wayfaring Stranger @AdamDavis As I understand it, that is why black fingernail polish was invented.
May 21, 2014 at 17:50 comment added Adam Davis Why don't you just cover the LED with something? It would be the least risky thing to do. Tape a piece of aluminum foil over it and you're done.
