When I moved to Germany I was surprised how everyone taped the camera on their laptops with these small, thin, easy to remove stickers that left no residue made for bookmarking your notebooks.
This should still work on Macs as a sticker is thin enough not to damage the display.
That's what I use as well, and I'm still using the same one that I started with. It's lasted over a year.
I appreciate this line:
> The camera is engineered so that it can’t activate without the camera indicator light also turning on. This is how you can tell if your camera is on.
But I still want a physical assurance that the camera can't see anything. I don't want to have to count on myself noticing the light.
Some Lenovo ThinkPads have built-in shutters, and I wish Apple would do the same for MacBooks. In my ideal laptop, it would also physically disable the microphone.
