Webcam technology began to emerge in the mid-1990s, with the first commercially available webcam, the Connectix QuickCam, released in 1994. However, the use of webcams became more widespread in the early 2000s, as internet speeds improved and video conferencing software became more accessible. By the late 2000s, built-in webcams became standard features in laptops and desktop computers.
