webcam cover/privacy stickers?

[katbow]

Small sticker to put over the webcam. I end up sticking a piece of paper on my webcam instead if I want to cover it up, which isn't nearly as pretty as a DWYL sticker would be ❤️ .

It could be circular with the DWYL logo, or maybe even the sticker itself could be heart shaped!? Thoughts on design appreciated 😄

@katbow this is a fantastic idea! please investigate the options here. 📝
we could design our own from scratch but we need to gather the requirements precisely. 👍
these will go like "hot cakes" at meetups/events! 🍰

I love this!

These have been sent for print (500 of 1cm x 1cm circular wall stickers)

[nelsonic]

The criteria for these stickers should have included:

• the ability to temporarily remove the covering section for a video conference or tutorial recording.
• should not deposit glue on the camera.

[ghost]

@nelsonic yep - they fit that criteria 👍

[iteles]

I hear they have arrived and people are loving them!!

@markwilliamfirth Can we please add the specifications here and a photo? So curious to see it!

They're not actually self-cling - I changed the order after confirming the requirements with diginate

They're Wall Stickers (https://www.diginate.com/quote/)

Our wall stickers use a repositionable adhesive meaning they can be removed cleanly and restuck multiple times. It’s not just walls that these stickers are suitable for - they make great laptop skins, temporary labels and signage.

Reopening as this needs to be added to the readme.

Sadly, the Sticker doesn't stick to my laptop. 😞
(might have something to do with MacBook Air not having very much glass on the top bezel)

Need a much better solution to the problem of camera privacy on laptops.
We need something "mechanical" like what @yvonne-liu has on her laptop ...

CC: @jackcarlisle this tiny thing costs £8.90 (for a 3-pack) on Amazon.co.uk !!

Virtually the same product costs $0.95 on Alibaba:

Could this be your next FBA mini-project...? 😉
I will certainly buy it from you and leave you a legit 5-star review.

@nelsonic I was just about to open a separate issue on that type of webcam cover, but got waylaid in a call. Could you please open that in a new issue so as to keep this one to the original ones only?

[yvonne-liu]

Happy to help with sourcing this from China 🙃 .

[jackcarlisle]

@nelsonic such an extreme markup!

[nelsonic]

@iteles new issue opened as requested: #30 👍
@yvonne-liu that would be very much appreciated! ❤️ (we just need to decide on number & design)
@jackcarlisle it's a crazy markup for a tiny piece of metal/plastic, agreed! 💰
The best (physical) products are small (low postage cost), high value/volume and "good margin". 😉

Final action to close this issue: add to readme

Final action to close this issue: add to readme

Hmmm... this doesn't seem to have been done 😕 🙊

Actually @iteles, given that the sticker ones we got weren't fit for purpose (me with my plastic frame 😞 ), can we just close this issue and write up #30 into the readme when we get that done?

[iteles]

@rub1e Suggest a couple of lines on what we tried (all contained above) + the photo of what we ended up with and that it's not fit for purpose as you say! Then we close this and update when #30 is done
