It is? What if you want to remove it? Plus a cup gives a kind of lampshade vibe.

I make a flap out of gaffer’s tape for any device I use without a built in physical cover for the webcam

They have improved then since the picture was made, as I used to go to the store and they’d take advantage of the fact people feel they need the sliders so bad and sell them at the price of an umbrella. And then it was realized after looking at bathroom cups that not only can you make them in an instant for free but also that the translucent ones can imbue certain effects.
