What's new in Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25182

Camera Privacy Shutter

The Windows Camera app can now recognize when a webcam's shutter blocks the view, or when a laptop's lid is closed. If it recognizes that the camera is inaccessible, the app will notify you and provide suggestions to unlock the camera.

This feature does not work with user-made hacking tools, such as duct tape or paper you might place on your camera to protect your privacy. It is only compatible with special hardware, such as the Microsoft Modern Webcam or similar devices with an integrated privacy shutter.

Camera app version 2022.2207.29.0 supports camera privacy shutter. Microsoft says the latest version of the app should now be faster and better on Arm64 devices.

Microsoft Store Improvements

Build 25182 comes with a new Microsoft Store update. The latest version displays screenshots in search results. Games can now be installed directly from the Store app instead of switching to the Xbox app.

These changes are available in Microsoft Store version 22207.1401.x.

Expiration Date
