(Image: Apple)It said: “The FaceTime HD camera built into your Mac computer is designed with your privacy in mind and uses a camera indicator light that glows green when the camera is active. “The camera is engineered so that it can’t be activated without the camera indicator light also turning on. It added: “If you install a camera cover that is thicker than 0.1 mm, remove the camera cover before closing your computer.”
