Orange for "warning, you're safe" instead of "warning, you're on camera"?

I've had mine for over 2 years and 2 mbs and never really noticed. I never use the webcam.

I agree though, I would rather it be invisible unless I look specifically. Just the meaning when I DO look should be obvious, and orange for inactive is not obvious or natural to me except in maybe parachutes.

I think consistency is important between vendors. It would be annoying if one vendor chose orange to mean that you're on camera, and another vendor would show orange to mean that you are off camera.

11th gen owner here. Yeah I found this confusing as well, but probably the least annoying thing that has bothered me on a laptop.
