majority of Bitdefender users consider a popular app as being harmless,
then its access to the webcam will be automatically set on Allow. If a
popular app is considered as dangerous by the many, then its access will
be automatically set on Blocked.
You will be informed each time one of your installed apps will be listed as

2. In the WEBCAM PROTECTION pane, click Webcam access.
3. The first time you access Webcam Protection, you are introduced into the
feature.
4. Click the desired link:
● Select Windows Store apps to add to the permissions list - a list with
the detected Windows Store apps is displayed. Turn on the switches
next to the apps you want to add to the list.
● Start adding applications to the webcam access list - go to the .exe file
you want to add to the list, and then click OK.
To add additional apps, click the Add a new application to the list link.
Click the Access allowed/Access blocked switch.
