Windows Edge Light & Privacy Glow. EdgeLight
Windows Edge Light is an ambient glowing screen perimeter overlay designed for Windows 10 & 11 that illuminates whenever your webcam is in use. EdgeLight detects Windows camera activation signals natively in real time, painting an ambient, click-through glowing screen border without ever capturing camera feeds or uploading telemetry.
The Visibility Problem
The physical laptop webcam LED is too small for modern work.
Calls happen across multi-monitor setups, ultrawide displays, and dock configurations. A microscopic hardware camera LED is easily overlooked when your attention is focused on the screen.
