I have a new Acer Predator Helios 300, and I’ve just noticed that every time I receive a new message on WhatsApp Web on Chrome the webcam turns on.
The camera LED turns on and I receive a notification on the screen. After about 3 seconds it turns off again. I’ve already tried disabling the camera on Chrome for all websites, but the same thing keeps happening. What the hell is this?
I also noticed that this happens with any sound on Chrome, and not just WhatsApp web notifications. But only when the headphones are connected.
