[QUOTE="Nirv5668, post: 380972, member: 35116"] I only use the webcam maybe once a week or every few weeks, so I don't need a perfectly convenient method, but I use a small band-aid and it works well. Cheap and the padded part keeps adhesive off the lens area. Most higher-quality band-aids (still cheap enough ;)) don't really leave much residue behind at all and are easy to quickly remove. Glad to know this is still smart to do- I thought maybe modern webcams were no longer susceptible to this and was slacking lately... [/QUOTE]
