Does this mean that Skype can take snapshots through your web cam whenever it's running? There was a US high school that installed software that did that and got raked over the coals for it.

Almost any running application on your computer can use your web cam and your microphones. The only question is whether they do.

My point was that they can do it and you wouldn't be able to tell as they always have access to the webcam anyway.
