I'd honeytrap this with a software camera that just plays filth and shock sites on a loop :)

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The goal with software like windows is to eventualy take away all control. If you can run unaproved software, you can't even join the teams call. Then you will see stuff like this.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I own a small USB stick that acts as a camera. But in reality it’s just a HDMI input on the other end. Now beat that with software

Just wait until webcams start cryptographically signing image frames to ensure their authenticity.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Point webcam at a screen, or maybe a white wall with a projector pointing at it

The real goal is to then charge the user $2.99 to block their camera from being turned on.

Do it and you'd see my camera cover

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I prefer the classic post it note personally.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

I feel that a faulty webcam driver that causes a kernel panic would work best. They turn your camera on and you drop from the call.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 1 month ago (1 children)

All you would see is my camera cover, lol

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think Dell once patented a mechanical cover system for their laptops.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (18 children)

All the laptops I have owned over the last 10 years have a mechanical shutter to cover the camera. None have been Dell.

tbh I'd be more likely to want to turn it off

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You’d get a pious, stating that someone paid 1.99 to turn your camera an. For just 5.99 you can make sure it stays off.

This could also be implemented as a bidding war like eBay.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

This is like that libertarian/ancap copypasta.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Yknow one great thing that costs about 1.99 (one time cost)?

Those little plastic slidy bits that cover up the laptop webcam and mic.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's weird that people used to be concerened with covering their laptop camera, but people don't care about their phone camera.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (10 children)

"Most of the time your phone is in your pocket" he says writing on his phone...

Fortunately, browsers have safeguards against this sort of thing (activating the camera without user interaction)

…right?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Zuck always has a piece of tape over his camera when you see his laptop. That’s all you need to know.

Both my work laptop and personal laptop have mechanical shutters that can only be opened by hand.

They're both Thinkpads.

Is this legit? Brave's AI summary claims that Teams indeed gives this option to the host. However, it points to a Teams documentation page that does not mention such feature.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 1 month ago (2 children)

AI

Why would you trust any AI like that

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (14 children)

Holy shit.

He's at -22 right now, and you at +41.

He obviously isn't trusting the AI, he's asking here to verify it since he couldn't find any first-hand information to contradict it.

Lemmy is already getting to be more fucking toxic than reddit. JFC.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Lemmy is better than Reddit in every way. This means the platform itself is better, but it also uplifts all users. This leads to better posts, better comments and better voting behavior. It also enhances the innate abilities of Lemmy users to be toxic as hell.

So what I'm trying to say is suck it bitch.

I don't blindly trust AI responses. However, that was way too concerning not to ask about it, considering that I work from home and that we use Teams.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago (2 children)

so you asked the word confetti bot

It's either my broken self or a symptom of the time that I cannot tell if this is a honest question. I hope it isn't.

Just in case: It's not a real thing. Yet.

Beyond the other answers stating that this isn't real:

Teams doesn't do one off charges for functionality like this. All functionality is managed by licensing, managed through your workplace's Azure tenant. Don't have the license, don't have the feature. Need the feature? Time to work with Microsoft billing to get you a new license (or additional one) and then your IT team to have the license applied to your account.

There aren't usually any upsells displayed to end users. In our environment we've only seen a rare "this functionality is not available on your license, go complain to your admin" type message, but usually it just doesn't display unavailable options.

On top of all that, Microsoft is dumb, but not this dumb. Last thing their team of lawyers would want is for them to be involved in some sort of "involuntary pornography" case or something.

I just don't plug a camera in

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But i thought everyone helicopters during meetings. How else am i supposed to meet my step goal

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

My camera has a cover 😂😂😂 I hope you like your screens pitch black because it’s the only thing you will see

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Shit, I'd pay more than that each time.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Does the person on the other end get a notification or do they just remain oblivious to their boss spying on them?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

No usually you do not get an immediate notification, but you can indeed see it by constantly checking you small camera window in the corner of the meeting. But you have to stay focused.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Jokes on you, I got mic and cam on a physical USB-switch. So unless I go in "conference mode", your attack is futile
