Enable Webcam privacy

**NOTE** In order for Webcam privacy to be enabled all existing webcam sessions must be restarted.
Selecting a user type for webcam privacy
Y!TunnelPro 2.5 allows you to selectively apply privacy settings to different types of users. This allows the greatest flexibility and prevents Y!TunnelPro from blocking webcam view requests from people you may otherwise allow to view your webcam.

The user type selection window contains all four user types supported by Y!TunnelPro and looks like the following:


The user types supported and what category each one is given:
  • Buddies - Users who are on your buddy list.
  • Safe Users - Users you have marked as Safe.
  • Chat Users - Users who are in the same chat room you are in.
  • Unknown Users - All other users.
Simply click on the user type you wish to configure settings for and then adjust the settings.
