rememberSiberia 0 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Hi everyone, I think with the recent update I am receiving notifications whenever I log onto specific sites that Google Chrome is attempting to access my webcam. I'm not sure how this is possible, since I disabled the webcam access completely in the Chrome settings. What is causing Chrome attempting to access my webcam? Thank you!

crist_andre 0 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I have the same problem. I noted that the problem started in June 16th. Unfortunately, I opened a spam mail the same day, so I thought that my pc got infected. Could someone please tell me when was the update launched? I am also receiving notifications every time I just open other apps like Microsoft Teams or Skype, even if I do not join to any call or meeting.

P011322 0 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I also have the same problem. So, which is the correct answer? Allow or Block? Remember for this application or Ask every time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please check if installing the latest version 14.2.23 (not yet released) makes a difference.
