Is video call safe? Remote Access Trojans, for instance, may turn one's webcam and capture video. Few or none means of video conversation may be completely secured, but how safe is it?
Moreover, two or more applications cannot use the same stream from the same webcam at the same time. Should one then assume that the user can only be monitored -- by his own webcam -- without his knowledge if no application -- voluntarily started by the user -- is using the stream from the webcam?
Laslty, are there any applications which add extra security to a video call?
I would immensely appreciate any help.
