This confirms the good sense of covering the camera lens when not in use. For example, I've long stuck a narrow strip of paper, torn from the adhesive part of a Post-It note, to my MBA's camera lens, removing it when making a video call.

I use a band-aid. Prevents adhesive from getting on the lens.

or disable your camera device/driver in windows? if you are using it so little that you want to cover it, you might as well disable it.
