Video Camera are unsafe?

Home More advice Computers & Tech

Someone ask me if they should turn off their video camera attached to the computer when they are not using it. They were told that if they didn't, it was possible that someone could hack into their computer, activate the camera, and watch what was happening in the room. I don't think this is possible, but I can't find any information about it. Can anyone tell me if this is true?
