Windows 11 will require laptops to have high-quality webcams: Report

As part of the rush of news surrounding its new operating system, Microsoft has declared that starting January 1, 2023, all new laptops running on Windows 11 will need to have a front-facing camera.

According to Android Authority, this likely has to do with Windows Hello, which is Microsoft’s facial recognition system that allows you to use your face as biometric security.

Windows 11 puts a heavya emphasis on the importance of security. For those concerned with privacy, this means a trip to the office supply store to grab more tape with which to cover up the pesky little lenses, Windows Central reported.
