The first day after enabling Webcam control in Kaspersky, while regularly browsing with my broser (LibreWolf) i got a notification that Microsoft edge is using my webcam, even though I never use this browser. Of course at first i thought that this is a virus so performed a full scan as well as scan with HitmanPro in safe mode, but nothing was found. After that I tried to clean all browser data in Edge and noticed that this notification appears for a couple of seconds every time I clean browser data as well. So I wonder should I be concerned there is a virus which couldn't be found, is it a bug or Edge actually periodically randomly uses webcam for some reason?

Hello,
