Am I the only person that immediately covers their webcam with Scotch’s Magic Tape? It frosts the image so that it doesn’t look like it has been covered but rather that it is extremely smudged and thus only silhouettes can be somewhat discerned.
The issue with those is that you might get told to uncover your camera. With Magic Tape you can always say that it is uncovered. Light goes through, so you can pretend that maybe the camera is busted.

Thankfully most laptops I see now come with a built in physical cover for the webcam.
And in context of this post…Mac laptops do not. So the scotch tape (or black tape) idea is sound.

If they tell you to uncover your camera at home then we got problems.
Don’t forget the mic
DELL laptops are neat in that they let you disable all these in the firmware.
Even neater if there is a hardware switch to enable/disable on the fly.
it is best to switch to Linux so the webcam doesn’t work even if you wanted to
