Find out the device string of the webcam you want to disable: | |
for device in $(ls /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/product); do | |
echo $device; cat $device; | |
done | |
This will show result lines like this: | |
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1.6/product | |
Integrated Camera | |
In which case the device string we look for is 1-1.6. | |
Disable the webcam using your device string in a command like this: | |
echo '1-1.6' | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/unbind | |
To enable your webcam at a later time, use your device string in a command like this: | |
echo '1-1.6' | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/bind | |
