Can a Samsung technician see me through a built-in camera on my device?A Samsung technician could see you through the built-in camera, only if they are accessing an app that uses the built-in camera (e.g. Skype, Camera app, etc.). The Samsung technicians will never access these types of apps while connected to your device unless they are specifically asked to do so in order to test that particular functionality. You can set the camera to the closed position to prevent the technician from seeing you while accessing the application. There is no way for the technician to access your built in camera without your knowledge.
