I executed the following command in terminal and got the output:



Command:




lsmod | grep uvcvideo




Output:




uvcvideo 86016 0



videobuf2_vmalloc 16384 1 uvcvideo



videobuf2_v4l2 24576 1 uvcvideo



videobuf2_core 40960 2 videobuf2_v4l2,uvcvideo



videodev 184320 3 videobuf2_core,videobuf2_v4l2,uvcvideo



media 40960 2 videodev,uvcvideo




Does it mean my webcam is using by some application? I am running no application that uses my webcam and LED is not blinking.

          No.What you show is just kernel module dependency. This is nothing to do with spying.
