Norton SafeCam -stop annoying popups

In SafeCam settings set SKYPE as trusted. See if that pop-up reappears.

Use a different browser as a test, if you get different results then yes Chrome is the issue. Conversely read this article for possible help.

I too am having the same problem with the annoying popup.  This happens with Chrome and Opera browsers. Is it not enough that I have set the SafeCam to block these browsers from using the webcam?  Every time I launch these browsers I get the annoying Norton "Attention Required"  popup telling me that webcam access has been denied to Chrome or Opera and that "Attention is required".  So ya, that's what I wanted, I wanted the webcam blocked. I purposefully set that in Norton. I don't want the webcam to be active in anyone of my browsers. But for some reason Norton insists that this is something that needs my attention every time I launch the browser. Do you know if they are going to fix this issue?

I'm not sure what is different between your setup and mine. Yes I read https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/v126148153  before posting here and yes I followed the recommended settings for blocking WebCam access.  

This was all working just fine (no popups) until about a month ago after a Norton 360 update and then I started to get those annoying SafeCam popups every time I open Chrome and Opera.  I also tested MS Edge and I also get the popup with that browser.

Here are my settings and other information

My Access Settings:

Here is the SafeCam history from Norton:

And each time SafeCam blocks access for Chrome I get this:

Each time SafeCam blocks access for Opera I get this:

And the same for Edge.

This means every time I launch a browser I have to deal with this annoying popup.

So how is this fixed since it started about a month ago?  Is Norton going to issue a fix to this bug?

Just adding I'm getting it too.

"Does disabling allow good apps produce different results?"  No change. I still get the popups

Hey Soul, you say "Opening Edge I am not prompted in any manner to allow or deny SafeCam access". Well that's because you have not set up Edge in 360 SafeCam and set it to Block.  Also I use Opera not OperaGX so I don't know why that would make any difference.  Also I am running Win10 and you are running Win11.

But hey look, Norton changed the annoying popup making it even more evident that this is either some kind of a bug or just an annoyance, after all nothing is more annoying than "hey here is a great feature. We can allow you to control your camera so it cannot be accessed on a program by program basis but if you use it we are going to make you deal with this annoying popup every time you use that program."  

So here is the new and improved annoying popup:

Nothing is more annoying than using the SafeCam feature and then being told you used the SafeCam feature and that it needs your attention to View Details and change your settings every time you launch your browser.

I prefer not to allow chrome to have access to my camera. In google chrome under security and privacy settings I have blocked sites form having access to camera so I'm unsure why it still keeps asking for access to the laptop camera meaning it gets blocked by Norton. Have done a thorough search using anti malware plus used autoruns and process explorer and there are no hidden malevolent programs requiring access to the camera, everything is clean. Perhaps this is actually a google chrome issue ?

Thank you for posting on the Norton Community. We have fixed this in our latest build Norton Security 22.22.11.12 for Windows. Please note that this is a throttled release. 

Please hover over the Close icon in top right corner to see 'Don't Show Me Again' option, click on it to make the alert silent. Thank you.
