Camera is in use… but who is using it???

I had to use my computer camera recently to make a quick video. On the Mac, there’s a “Photo Booth” app that makes it really easy to record. It may not be the best quality but it usually serves the purpose in the moment. I opened up the app, and got this…

Do you see what I see? Notice that the app can’t open the camera because…

CAMERA IS IN USE??? Ummmm, creepy much? I quickly shut the computer down and tried explaining away the weirdness. I’m sure there was nothing weird going on, like someone hacking into my camera, but… what if? Can you imagine? Of course, if anyone hacks my camera they will be bored in like, 10 seconds, but it’s still disturbing to think someone might have been using MY camera on MY computer in MY home.  

Have you had an experience like this? What did you do? Chime in by commenting below, and thanks for stopping by!
