I have disabled the camera in my laptop, and put painter's tape
over it (because we found out some years ago when I was an IBM
employee, that there was a way to have your camera turned on, and
the indicator light to not light up).
So in Teams (and related), all you see for me is a blue cloud if
the camera gets activated. Hmmm. Never thought about the
relationship there.... Oh well. And I do the same with my cell
phone's cameras.
Electrical tape (Black, Red, Green, etc.) is very gummy and kind
of greasy. Getting that cleaned off is sometimes a chore.
Just say'n'

When I'm home my laptop is on a shelf under my desk, connected
to a KVM switch so I can swap to it using my desktop keyboard

camera and on a meeting I expected to see black for my image,
but I saw legs (in pants). I'm guessing the camera is somewhat
sensitive to infrared. Doubling and tripling the tape didn't
even help that much, so I taped a penny across the lens.
