In short, yes
Longer answer - they could use a digital camera, or take screenshots, or use special software to record the webcam

    In theory, pressing the "Print Screen" button would do that, as it takes a picture of whatever's on your screen. Would this work with a webcam? I'm not 100% sure, but I think it will.

    However, that key is only good for one pic. After that, pressing the key again overwrites the old picture, unless you paste it into Paint or something.

    If you don't mind my curiosity... why do you ask?

    Could these pictures be embarrassing then?
    If so, then just don't do it in future

    I'm sorry for your potential embarrassment, but not to sound too much like your mother (lol) let this be a lesson to you
    If the pictures are that embarrassing then ask yourself why you did it in the first place
    And try asking very nicely for the person not to show the pictures around

        Am I misunderstanding what has happened here, or is this an abuse of moderator privileges?
