10 Best Webcam Covers UK 2024 | CloudValley, Privise and More

This combination pack of six webcam covers in black and white feature an ingenious red outline around the side of the cover. This shows when the camera lens is exposed, giving you a visual prompt to help you remember to close the cover when the camera is not in use.

Despite being thinner than a credit card at 0.8 mm thick, these covers are slightly larger than many others in length and width. Great for a range of devices, this ensures large aperture lenses are covered fully. The covers can be opened and closed easily with just one finger!

Made in Germany, these webcam covers are some of the few imported from within Europe. The price tag is slightly higher as a result, but so is the build quality. 

Designed by a couple who were concerned for the privacy of their newborn son, these tiny camera covers are only 12 mm long, which is just over a centimetre. This means that they won't compromise the appearance of your devices. Being slightly thicker, we'd suggest using them on phones or tablets that don't have a closing lid mechanism. 

This handy duo of webcam covers come in two different colours, making them ideal for black, white or silver devices. If you don't want to spoil the look of your sleek phone or laptop, then finding a privacy cover that blends in will be an important consideration.

With an impressive thickness of only 0.6 mm, this cover is compatible with most MacBooks and other laptops. Plus, the raised outer ensures you can open or close the cover fully, making it super-easy to use correctly.

These camera covers in rose gold, silver and black, will certainly please those with metallic devices. You can match your phone or laptop exactly, making the shield virtually invisible. 

At 0.7 mm thick, these could be a great option if others have proved a little too bulky for your laptop closure. This set also comes with easy-to-follow instructions on how to attach them properly to your device.

Stand alone webcams used to monitor children, pets, or to deter intruders may need covering at certain times. These hinged covers are perfect for giving peace of mind at moments when you require privacy. We particularly like that you can see at a glance whether the web cam cover is flipped up or down.

This type of web cam cover is harder to find than those utilising a sliding mechanism.  However, reviewers are pleased with the reliability of the design. The cover remains properly raised when lifted open, and doesn't interfere with the camera's field of view.

If you'd prefer a webcam cover that blends into your device casing, but still want a subtle reminder to slide the cover closed, then these should suit you perfectly. Premoir's covers feature a small red dot, which is only on show when the cover is in the open position.

We also like the grey-on-black swirl design, which helps you to check that the privacy shield hasn't fallen off - which can often happen with phones that are constantly moved from bag to pocket to hand. Do be careful to properly clean and dry the surface on which you intend to stick this cover, as reviewers mention they can also come loose if dust is present.

Made to match silver devices, including phones, laptops, tablets and iPads, this handy pack of webcam covers are extremely small and slim. Luckily, the hole for the webcam is large in relation to the overall size, so your view when in use will not be obscured.

If you're lucky enough to drive a Tesla, these covers will also fit the Model 3 in-car camera. Just be aware that, although these covers are described as being made from metal, they are in fact comprised of a metallic coating over plastic. 

If you're new to using webcam covers, this pack will give you the option to try a couple of different styles. Each pack contains both oval and rectangular covers. So, if you have found curved covers tend to interfere with the edge of the laptop screen, the rectangular style may work for you!

These covers also protect against dust when closed and you even get a bonus wipe to clean the area before applying the cover. Disappointingly, there is only one wipe included per pack of 6 shields.

These cute panda webcam covers from JeoPoom will help encourage animal-loving kids and teens to use a privacy cover on their device. Better yet, the reasonable price tag will certainly appeal to parents too!

With 8 covers per pack, you'll have more than enough shields to protect their laptop, phone, tablet and gaming devices from prying eyes. That said, this cartoonish option might not appeal to all members of the household, so you may need to buy a pack of plain covers too.

TechPrivacy's plain privacy covers are designed to look just like an integrated part of your device. The sliding mechanism has no raised ridges, and there are no bright colours or logos either, making this a great choice for any minimalists out there.

It should be noted that the sliding tab can be pulled open by accident if, for example, it's placed on a phone that's regularly put in your pocket. This seems to be because the mechanism is slightly looser than others, as without any finger grips, a firmly fitting tab could be tricky to slide.
