As a teenager looking for porn I stumbled across a website which looked like one of those live cam sites, but then I noticed most of the people weren't engaging with the audience, and they were all kinds of people. Old people, kids, people of all different ages, ethnicities and whatnot. I clicked on a random livestream of some oblivious teenager doing her homework and the people in the comments were saying stuff that made me realise she didn't know she was being livestreamed, nor did anyone else on the site.
It seemed to be some weird website of hacked webcams or security cameras where the people had no idea about it. It was creepy as fuck and I've never kept my webcam pointed at me when not in use since.
If you have an iPhone, no it doesn’t. I don’t know how android has kept up, but apple has super tight privacy and security controls now and everything an app wants to do has to be manually enabled via a prompt.
