So she sat there and put her hand in her face?

....

Genius.

if you think some things turned your webcam on turn the computer or cam away : /

I reckon she just accidentally turned on her webcam on herself.

Seeing as she was to stupid to realise she could move away from the camera or move the laptop.

The unthinkable.

Or close the lid.



Yeah. My bosses new laptop has that built in, and also it starts on boot, so all it takes is a key combo. A very simple one at that.

It could be that the technicial was trying to get access to her desktop, but messed up:

And she just sat there? Sorry but it's as much her blame as it is the technicians.

To be honest, if the tech was smarty enough to remotely access a camera then he'd be smart enough to not bring up the webcams viewing program : /
