We tried this quite a few years ago. Three problems:
1) turning on the webcam makes a red light turn on every few seconds,
which is distracting as hell
2) we kept blocking the webcam to be used by other applications
3) using the webcam used significant amounts of power, the very thing
we're trying to save
