I would like that too, but my solution is to not trust the camera and have a sticker over it which I can remove when I want.

There work well because they have a sticky portion and a part that has no adhesive: http://www.post-it.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Post_It/Global/Pr...

The view from my camera with the sticker on is: http://i.imgur.com/y0OKxqO.jpg

My solution is to be a moderately unattractive male with facial hair, lead a boring life, and keep my clothes on when in front of my computer (although the later is probably a mitigating factor).

Does being overweight male with excessive facial and body hair, wearing nothing but underpants counts as black ICE?

At least on MacBook Pro computers, you can use a thin magnetic strip to cover the camera. My friend was making these by hand, and never got around to the kickstarter :)

AFAIK, MacBook cameras can't be used without the light turning on. [0]

Some companies hand these out at tech events: http://digiclean.com/

I got one from constant contact & upon reading this story cut it into strips to cover built-in webcams. Has the same stick/come off properties of the 3m stuff I think & it's fully opaque.

I also do this except I'm using a bandaid, it works well and is good conversation starter.
