Apple first introduced internal webcams to their line of iMacs in 2005. The internal camera, dubbed “iSight” by Apple, records both still photographs and video from a small lens hidden at the top of the computer’s display. A small microphone picks up audio for video recording and chats. Apple designed the webcam to be user-friendly and as such it requires no configuration or extra software. The camera turns on automatically when you open a camera-enabled application and turns off again when you close the application. Writer Bio
