I don't really understand the webcam paranoia. If my computer is completely compromised, somebody watching my face is the least of my worries.

To me it's not about the computer being compromised, but rather joining a WebEx/Hangouts/other conference/meeting software that suddenly decides to start sharing your webcam without prompting you.

There's been numerous times where I've joined meetings and someone gets caught with a goofy face or working from home in their PJs because they mis-clicked something on a crappy e-meeting UI.

I used WebEx meetings for the first time very recently and was rather frustrated by this as well. Quite a few of my colleagues had the exact same issue, and there were quite a few surprised people showing up on the camera after clicking the camera icon after mistaking the preview as broadcasting to the meeting.
