Hello,

In previous versions of macOS, you were able to completely disable the iSight camera on an iMac or Macbook using a series of SUDO commands in terminal.

I remember when we migrated to Mojave, that these commands no longer worked.

Does anyone have any commands to "permanently" disable iSight?

I know I can put tape over the camera as a secondary remedy, and you can also disable in Privacy but I'd like to do this at the hardware level if possible.

Thanks!
