Since I use my webcam for valid reasons (videoconf with my distributed team), this product is unfortunately completely inadequate for me.

A much better alternative is something like what soomz.io sells (https://soomz.io/en/detail/webcam_covers_a10) which lets you open and shut the blind as you see fit.

(I'm not affiliated with them in any way - except for being a happy client)

Hey @tribaal — and thanks for the feedback! We understand that it's important for people to be able to move the webcam cover on and off the actual cam, so our PEEPING TOMS are self-adhesive (no glue) and super easy to move around on your screen/display. Hope that answers your question :)

Oh, thanks for the precision, that makes your product much more attractive indeed.

"Self adhesive" makes it sound like they are stickers however (English is not my first language), perhaps changing that to something like "reusable" would do better from a marketing perspective? Annectdata, but still.
