My webcam software cover sticker:

sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo

@aluaces In my experience, the audio stream may also be exposed as a USB audio device independent of uvcvideo... so be sure to check that. Otherwise, you might wind up with what is essentially a $1 stick-on sliding cover except that it can be disabled with just a remote root exploit.

@ssokolow
Eh, nice catch! 😃 I always forget about audio. I am not that concerned about root exploits — if I am falling into one, I am totally doomed anyway.
