Could this be resolved with a capacitor? LED can stay on for at least a second or two once the camera is off? Not sure on exact components but this feels solvable and only problem may be slim design of their laptops.

The LED doesn't prevent the privacy invasion, it just notifies you of the privacy invasion… and only if you were looking at it.

The physical shutter that other manufacturers offer, is the superior solution.

I'd prefer if they just gave us a physical shutter that we could open and close with our thumbs.
