I am an IT guy and don’t know the answer to this. Can the camera be turned on without the indicator light being turned on?

A sneaky system guy or spy might short out or cover the indicator light. I don’t know how many people would catch on that the light isn’t working. Maybe, it is a good idea not to take your laptops to the Geek Squad and other people, and to also test your camera and indicator every once in a while.

Where is the indicator light, and how does one know if it is on--Is it bright, what color does it show?

How does one test his/her camera and indicator?

Thanks in advance for the information. It will be very helpful to us non-techies out here.
