How do you disable face detection on the Windows 10 camera?

I just want to get rid of the annoying blue square that comes up around my face... I'm surprised how limited the settings are. Is there any way to do this?

Hi,

Facial Recognition was developed as part of the new security features of Windows 10. Before we proceed, we would like to confirm if you are trying to turn off the Facial Recognition feature for Windows Hello or for the Windows 10 Camera app?

If you are requesting to turn off the Facial Recognition feature for Windows Hello, you can follow these steps:

1.  Go to Settings.

2.  Select Accounts.

3.  Click Sign-in options.

4.  Under Picture password, click Remove.

However, we have yet to include the option to turn off Facial Recognition feature in Windows 10 Camera app. We suggest that you submit a suggestion to our Feedback Hub. Your feedback helps us continually improve your experience with our products. To submit a feedback, follow the instruction below:

1.  Open the Windows 10 Camera app.

2.  Click the Gear icon located at the upper right corner of the screen.

3.  Scroll down, click Send Feedback.

Let us know if you have other questions.
