If it was on my radar I would much rather have an LED for microphone active (laptop and phone) than webcam - precisely because I can put a sticker on webcam.

Better still a hardware switch.

Maybe a toggle for enabling/disabling device driver for mic?

The Librem 13 comes with two hardware kill switches, microphone/camera and wireless/bluetooth. They raised $450k for their $1,400 laptop.
