Can the camera be turned on without the indicator light being turned on?

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

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.

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.

It depends on hardware. Some don’t have indicator lights. My wife’s, my son’s and my laptops have them.

The camera on my laptop is at the top center of the screen. The indicator light is about a half inch to the right. I think it is green. It is a green LED.
