I don't have a camera on any of my computers. I also don't have a
normal landline phone, but one that goes through my internet connection.
Years ago, I discovered that hanging up a phone doesn't always cause
the microphone to shut off. The person on the other end hadn't hung up
yet, and she still heard some comments I made after hanging up. Not
going there again.
