      Edit: I really miss hardware switches works only a few have them anymore.

        Most of the newer laptops I’ve picked up some have hardware switches, but they do have a physical shutter that can be flipped over the camera which IMO is better as I can visibly see the camera is blocked

      You also could use VM. From there you can toggle the device passthough

        I’ve always gotten too much delay with audio/video passthrough to voice calls through a VM, personally.

          Did you use the proper acceleration? Use KVM plus a virtual GPU.

          It is entirely possible your hardware makes it problematic but for me it worked.

          I use a USB pass through, so the VM is connected to the hardware instead of going through 12 layers of software.

      Dell? patented a laptop with a motorized switch back in the day. Let’s hope it stays lost in the abyss from whence it came.
