For what it's worth, my Lenovo laptop has a manuel shutter slider button on the side that actually physically covers the camera (and it must also does something driver wise because windows considers it unplugged). It's so easy and convenient that I always use to off the camera.

Many of lenovo have that even included their gaming laptop line (it's actually even better and more convient on that one, thanks to the larger size available).

Doesn't solve the problem this article talks about, but if that's something that worries you I would still trust that more than most (and it's a lot less weirdo looking than taping your camera).

A post-it note works if you don't have a slider.

People won't look at you the same way after you do this. And it won't be for the better
