Ashampoo WebCam Guard protects your privacy by preventing unauthorized hardware access. The program uses a special algorithm to disable hardware one level below Windows' own access protection. This means malware and hackers can neither access nor even see your webcam and microphone. In addition, the program also helps you avoid the pitfalls of telework, like forgetting to end your session or to turn off your cam in Zoom, Teams, Slack or any other video chat software after a call.
