I am trying to turn off the connected MacBook webcam and cam-led lighting safari browser.

Here is my code

myStream[0].getVideoTracks().forEach(track => track.stop())

It works on Chrome but doesn't in Safari.

How do you turn off the green light of the webcam? I looked at this part:

If we keep aside the ethical side of this question, I believe the green light of the webcam is hardware controlled and not software controlled on latest MacBook.

We can't turn off mac webcam greenlight manually if the webcam isn't turned off anymore according to apple's new policy. It will turn off if the webcam is not in use
