How can I turn the camera on my MacBook off?

The camera on my MacBook will come on unexpectedly and I can't turn it off without shutting down the computer. How can I turn it off?

Quit all apps that are using the camera:

OS X Mavericks: Use your Mac computer’s built-in camera.


If you have hidden any Login items,

User uploaded file

you should still be able to see if they are working in Activity Monitor.


If you are still having trouble, see Isolating issues in Mac OS X

and/or How to Troubleshoot iSight.
