Don't even understand why laptops have cameras and microphones. If you're serious about video meetings you'll want an external camera anyway.

I keep covering them up with bits of paper (because like most people, I don't trust LEDs or switches) that look ugly and invariably get blown off by a gust of wind and have to be reapplied when moving.

It just seems like at some point around 2010 some cabal decided that every device with a screen needs to have a camera facing the user and a microphone.

There's lots of people who aren't "serious about video meetings" but still want to be able to do a face-to-face chat with family or whatnot.
