I had this problem once a couple of years ago... We shut the user off,
and explained what he was doing to the machine. After that he never did
it again. Only two suggestions would be to have them maintain a
persistant connection (which would be bad), and to run a web server on
their local machine and serve the webcam from there... But that depends
on whether you allow students to run servers off of their personal machines.
