The update adds a new alert message to the preview window when your webcam\u2019s view is obstructed. Microsoft said, \u201cCamera can now understand the state of the privacy shutter on supported hardware, like the Microsoft Modern Webcam or the integrated camera on many new Windows 11 laptops. If the shutter is blocking the view or if the laptop lid is closed, Camera app will inform you and offer guidance.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-826826 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cameraapp2207-Large.jpeg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"image of a warning that says &quot;Camera is blocked.

It\u2019s a great way to make sure no applications or malware can see what you\u2019re doing at any time, short of physically disconnecting the camera (which may not be easy on a laptop). However, if you leave the camera covered most of the time, you might forget about it and wonder why your video isn\u2019t working \u2014 hence the new alert.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft also says the Camera app is now optimized for 64-bit ARM devices, like the Surface Pro X and Lenovo ThinkPad X13s. It\u2019s not clear if the Camera app only ran in 32-bit ARM mode before now, or if it was still an emulated x86 application. Either way, those devices (mostly Snapdragon-powered laptops) will now \u201csee faster and better performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Camera app was last updated in July, with a tweaked design that fits in better with Windows 11, and the ability to scan QR codes and barcodes.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/windows-insider\/2022\/08\/17\/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-25182\/\">Windows Insider Blog<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><br \/>\n<!-- .entry-footer -->\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
