Why?

Because privacy matters, I came up with this inexpensive "device" to protect us from prying eyes.

It's quite simple to put together.

Get familiar with both the idea and the measurements you will have to take. Diverse laptop models will have different webcam and led placements.

I strongly suggest you go through the whole set of instructions before assembling this.

I made 2 of these so far and they have been working great.

Being it quite simple and inexpensive design, I'm sure you won't have any trouble fine-tuning it to your needs, even if some trial and error is to be expected.
