Comments

I'm getting the impression that the new job I'm starting very soon uses something like this.

Any suggestions on most convenient way to cover up camera when not using it? I've looked at a few "webcam camera slide" products around, but I'm hearing a lot of reports of them cracking the screen of recent Macbook Pros.

Do your work inside a VM. Disable the device whenever you want.

post-it note, bookmark size.

Small piece of electric tape over the camera.

Use the OBS virtual camera to send whatever image you want over.
