If you are looking for  a webcam cover, you may have heard of webcamSHIELD. But there may still be some questions that remain unanswered. Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQ) about webcamSHIELD:

Q: What are the differences between the Glossy and Matte versions?

A: The glossy version is the most similar to the display surface and is therefore the least noticeable. On the other hand, the glossy version is harder to see where you can touch in low light and any fingerprints remain more visible.

Q: Does webcamSHIELD come in colours other than black?

A: From time to time there may be Special Editions with special colours, please check also ebay or amazon for our products.

Q: Where should I store webcamSHIELD while the webcam is in use?

A: webcamSHIELD can be put anywhere you don't forget it and where it is clean, for example above the keyboard on the aluminium of the MacBook.

Q: How do I clean webcamSHIELD when it loses adhesion?

A: When the sticking power decreases, it is usually due to contamination from residue on the sticking surface of webcamSHIELD. If this is the case, wash the adhesive surface under running water and allow to dry completely before reapplying*.

Alternatively, you can touch the sticky side of normal packaging tape or gaffer tape with the adhesive surface several times to transfer contamination to the adhesive.

Q: Why is the Glossy version more expensive?

A: The Glossy version is more expensive due to the use of a special film which is difficult to manufacture due to its robust properties.

Q: Can webcamSHIELD be used on laptops other than MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air?

Yes, webcamSHIELD can be used on other laptops* as long as the surface is flat. webcamSHIELD adheres to all smooth surfaces.

Q: What happens if an incompatible webcam cover is used instead of webcamSHIELD on a MacBook (Pro / Air) with a notch in the display?

Incompatible webcam covers, such as the side-slider versions, either cover the green status LED so you can't see when the webcam is on. On the other side of the webcam, the True Tone sensor could be covered, which both adjusts the colour tone of the display to the environment and serves as a brightness sensor at the same time.

Q: What should be considered when cleaning the outer surface of webcamSHIELD and the computer display?

A: webcamSHIELD can be cleaned normally with display cleaner, but of course it should not be wiped off. Therefore, if necessary, remove webcamSHIELD from the webcam beforehand so that you can clean it. By the way, thanks to the adhesive surface of webcamSHIELD, the webcam itself is usually clean, as dirt is absorbed by webcamSHIELD.

Q: Can webcamSHIELD be used on devices other than laptops and computers?

A: Yes, webcamSHIELD can also be used on tablets and smartphones as long as there is a flat surface to which webcamSHIELD can be attached. However, it is specifically stated that sliding webcamSHIELD into tight pockets or sleeves on such devices can cause it to be displaced and possibly even lost, so we do not recommend it.

Q: Is webcamSHIELD easy to remove and reuse?

A: Yes, webcamSHIELD is easy to remove and reusable for years thanks to the micro suction cups used.

Q: Can webcamSHIELD be used for purposes other than ensuring privacy through webcam coverage?

A: Yes, webcamSHIELD can also be used as a dust cover for the camera.

Q: How long does webcamSHIELD last?

A: webcamSHIELD is durable due to the materials used and can last for many years as the adhesion can always be restored by washing it off.

Q: What is the quality of the camera footage when webcamSHIELD is used?

A: webcamSHIELD does not affect the quality of camera recordings and simply provides a cover for the camera when not in use. A positive side effect of webcamSHIELD is that the lens of the camera is usually clean as contaminants are absorbed by the adhesive surface of webcamSHIELD.
