The first webcam was made in 1991 by students at the University of Cambridge. They were tired of walking to the coffee room and finding the coffee pot empty. So, they set up a camera to watch the coffee pot from their desks. It was called the Trojan Room coffee pot. The camera showed live video on their computers, so they only got up when the coffee was ready! This fun idea helped create the webcams we now use to learn, chat, and work online.
