Below are some steps you can take to protect your webcam and keep it secure:

1. Reconfigure your device settings: Adjust your settings to allow only certain software to access your webcam.
2. Maintain your software patches and updates: Updates can protect your device from any potential malware that could be used to hack a webcam.
3. Set up a webcam cover: Make sure no one is viewing you through the webcam when the device is turned on by purchasing a webcam cover for your device.
4. Turn off the device when not in use: Many devices have built-in settings that allow you to turn off access to the webcam when it's not in use.
