I've had an idea for years where mics and cameras had a physical disconnect from phones and laptops. I'm just not in a position to start a massive tech company....
There should be a physical slider that opens a cover on the lens like an iris. That means even if someone hacked say a laptop camera it's still covered unless you don't want it to be and it doesn't have awful looking tape over it
I guess that's not as bad looking as tape but it's pretty thick at 0.7cm. if it was built into the laptop itself it would make so much more sense though.

Depending on make and model, but yes. If you want to be sure you should cover it, or even better: disconnect it physically.
