  • Webcam privacy shield
    Patent number: 9465276
    Abstract: A webcam privacy shield is magnetically attached to a bezel of an electronic display that includes a webcam. The webcam privacy shield is positioned in either a shielded position where light is blocked from entering the lens of the webcam by positioning an opaque portion of the webcam privacy shield over the lens of the webcam, or an operating position where light is allowed to enter the lens of the webcam by positioning a transparent portion of the webcam privacy shield of the lens of the webcam. Sliding the webcam privacy shield between the shielded position and the operating position allows the user to selectively maintain their privacy from the webcam, or use the webcam.
