I just use some gaffers tape to cover the camera.

One complaint I have is a lot of laptop manufacturers who do put a camera slider in, paint the slider red when it's closed and black when it's open. It should be the opposite. Red is dangerous live.

I fix it just using some enameled nail polish. But it seems opposite of what it should be

That's not possible, because the sensor is black (or at least very dark).

Right, but the ring around the sensor is plastic. That plastic could be red. To indicate that the camera is uncovered
